That is... kind of insane considering she hasn't been there in over 10 years? What is the capacity for a concert set up? A Google search says 90K, but that has to be when the arena is open for sporting events.
Good for her!

Letβs take a moment to appreciate how incredible Christina Aguileraβs voice is
Sheβs all about vocal gymnastics and high drama β and her growl is one of the most iconic things to come out of β00s pop music. Hereβs the analysis. Weβre going to dissect this particularly memorable MTV Video Music Awards performance of her 2006 ballad, βHurtβ β which uses pretty much every coin in Christinaβs bank of vocal tricks. Christinaβs vocals are very exposed throughout the performance, with only a piano accompaniment and pianissimo strings to back her up. Itβs a surprising decision considering her diva status, but one that really shows off the depth and power of her voice. Is Mariah Carey actually a good singer? Soprano Catherine Bott explains > She makes us wait for those belting, mezzo notes One of Xtinaβs strongest traits is her ability to switch between head and full voice. She starts the first verse of βHurtβ with a vulnerable sound and plenty of breath in her voice. Her most vulnerable lyrics, like βby hurting youβ are placed at the top of her range, so it sounds on the edge. But then, we get moments of that spine-tingling mezzo belt peeking through in the words βhow proudβ. She shifts effortlessly from her very bright head voice to a mid-range belt, and has a great knack for putting her head voice moments right next to her low mezzo sections. So when she launches into βI would hold you in my armsβ (0:35), we get the full effect of her hard-hitting belt. Sheβs a clear soprano, but with incredible mezzo notes along the way. Her range Christina has a phenomenal range, spanning four octaves from around C3 to C7. In her Carpool Karaoke sketch she reaches an F6, putting her βlimitationsβ down to the fact that βitβs daytimeβ. An F6, by the way, is what Mozartβs Queen of the Night sings. Her growl Ah, the Xtina growl. Have a listen to the line βthereβs nothing I wouldnβt doβ at 1:59 β although it doesnβt always guarantee the best intonation, the growl adds an essential sprinkling of grit to her performance. Talking to James Corden in Carpool Karaoke, she described the growl as βan angsty thing β youβve got to get your Fighter onβ. Definitely easier said than doneβ¦ Her breath βHurtβ is a really difficult song to perform β and part of what makes it so demanding is that it requires a colossal amount of breath. Not only is Aguilera able to hold notes for an impressively long time (see: βAinβt No Other Manβ), she is very good at singing all the way through phrases. Listen to how she sings through the line βI would tell you how much that I missed you since you been awayβ at 2:38, and still comes out the end of it with control and volume in her voice. She transcends genres Xtina has the upper range and melismatic runs to rival a coloratura soprano. But her voice is also heavily influenced by the old-school sounds of vintage jazz, soul and blues, with Aguilera herself citing her vocal inspirations as Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. You know who else transcends genres? The great RenΓ©e Fleming: Finally, thereβs the drama Christinaβs voice is all about high drama β and she mirrors it in her performance. At first, she keeps it simple: sitting on a stool, draped in a '50s-style ball gown with the spotlight directly on her. At a crucial moment of high emotion in the song, she gets up and makes her way towards the audience, folding in on herself as the lyrics get more passionate. Then, right at the end of the performance she falls to her knees to sing a final heart-breaking, pianissimo version of the chorus. What was that about high drama...? www.classicfm.com/discover-music/christina-aguilera-voice-analysis/

"Fall in Line" was the only single officially released. "Accelerate," "Twice" and "Like I Do" were all promo singles.

Ugh, this was a good album. IMO Xtina screwed herself with the Accelerate video -- the song itself was a grower, but that puke-inducing video was unwatchable. At least the tour is a success!
