In today’s music industry, an artist needs to tour if they hope to keep themselves afloat.

Summer is primetime for touring. Many fans go to StubHub, the largest ticket-resale market, in search of cheaper tickets or passes to shows that have sold out.

StubHub has analyzed the top-selling performers this summer, looking at sales on its site for dates ranging from Memorial Day to Labor Day 2016.

It looks like Adele is taking the top perch that Taylor Swift previously had in 2015 with her “1989″ tour. And rock ‘n’ roll is surprisingly durable this year, taking up half of the list.

Here’s the full list of top-selling artists this summer that StubHub sent to Business Insider:

10. Billy Joel

9. Paul McCartney

8. Kenny Chesney

7. Twenty One Pilots

6. Guns N’ Roses

5. Beyonce

4. Drake

3. Justin Bieber

2. Coldplay

1. Adele

Based on total sales for all dates on StubHub from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
