Madonna is on the verge of pulling in another record in her career. Her Sticky & Sweet Tour which wraps up in three weeks, is set to bring in about $282 million- which would make her number one for the top-grossing tour ever by a female artist or solo artist.

According to MTV News, the 28 dates on the North American leg of the tour — which came amid the turmoil of the singer’s separation and subsequent divorce from filmmaker Guy Ritchie — grossed around $91.5 million, with the concert being seen by almost 550,000. The tour then hit Miami and Mexico City, and will then wrap up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on December 18.

Before the South American dates, Madonna had already grossed around $207.5 million between the North American and European shows on the tour, according to Reuters.

Despite her massive expected take, Madonna still has a long way to go before she catches up to the undisputed top touring act of all time, the Rolling Stones, whose A Bigger Bang tour from 2005-2007 grossed more than $558 million.
