(antiMusic) You can just imagine Sting laughing as he sits in his castle counting his loot as he ponders his wisdom over ditching his lute and giving The Police reunion the green light. He's seeing a lot of green these days over the decision, as the tour has been named the top grossing tour of 2007 by Billboard Boxscore. As of the reporting cutoff date of Nov 13th Sting and company brought in a cool $212 million from the trek.

Far less hyped, Genesis put on a reunion tour this year as well which grossed $129 million beating out boybander Justin Timberlake's $126.8 million drawing FutureSex LoveShow tour.

Here is how the rest of top 10 came out according to Billboard: Kenny Chesney ($71.2 million), Rod Stewart ($70 million), Cirque Du Soleil's Delirium ($59.4 million), Roger Waters ($53.2 million), Tim McGraw/Faith Hill ($52.3 million), Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million) and Rascal Flatts ($41.6 million).

But it's not all good news as US concert attendance is down almost 20% this year. Wonder how much outrageous ticket prices have to do with this? More on that trend and this year in tour grosses - here
