The Dixie Chickshave been raking in the dough since starting their first U.S. tour since 2006.
So far they've brought in $26.6 million in ticket sales -- not bad for only 29 performances. Kenny Chesney narrowly edged them out by bringing in $31.1 million for his Spread the Love
tour for the same time period.
So far they've attracted over 400,000 people to their shows.
The tour wraps in L.A. on October 10th.
There's mutual admiration going on between Eric Church and Michael Phelps via Twitter.
Michael, who included Eric in his pre-race playlist, tweeted to him, "When you coming to AZ? It was Record Year... I wanted to have the best year that I could."
Eric's team replied,"Michael Phelps, March 28th in Phoenix. DM us your info and you'll be our guest. We would be honored.
Congrats on your Record Year."
It's been a record year for both Eric and Michael -- Eric picked up his seventh number one with "Record Year," and Michael picked up five gold medals at this year's Olympics.

Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Linehas been on his hiatus from social media for a month, and he isn't ready to go
back to posting on his personal accounts just yet.
He says "It's just kind of a cleanse if you will. Someone said that earlier. I think it's a cool analogy. I was spending a lot
of time on it and I said, man, I need to have a little reality check. It was healthy for me personally. For how long, I don't
really know."
Tyler says he does help out with the Florida Georgia Line account.
