Apparently she cut three songs from the concert last night. Any idea why? Technically cut two songs and added 1. I'm sure it was just a running time thing for TV, etc.

This was an amazing performance and the crowd went nuts. Wikipedia has it listed as the 6th highest attended concert in history and the 3rd highest in Copacabana at 1.6MM. The most attended was also at Copacabana by a free new years concert by Rod Stewart at 3.5MM 3.5 million for Rod Stewart?? Were they giving out free iphones??

It was during Copacabana's traditional new years party. It brings millions of people yearly regardless of music performances, but definitely having Rod there made the crowd even bigger that specific year.

It was really just Mother / Father and Don't Cry For Me. I Will Survive had been removed from the setlist about midway through the tour and replaced with Express Yourself at that time. Celebration was never it's own performance. It was always mixed in with the finale medley.

It's one of her biggest songs in Brazil.

It was a near years Eve event. Madonna has the highest solo event as everyone was there to see her, not celebrate an event that she happened to be at like Rod.

It was fantastic, of course. And she's taken over Apple Music in Brazil. Outlets are reporting it as the highest standalone concert attendance. Linsey Davis, during the segment on ABC World News Tonight, said "...proving that some artists are always in vogue."

I think Debi Mazar IG post kinda confirms it, lol. She wrote, I hope you rest and relax in a moo moo, but we all know that will not happen.

Whether you love her or hate her, its amazing, how Madonna pissed off all the right wingers in Brazil.
And the husband, shows me videos of these bloggers who say they weren't fans of M, but after the concert, fell in love with her.
There truly will never be anyone like her. <3

I know we talked about this before, but in the early years of Madonna's career, she was quite prolific and released albums very close together compared to now. I guess the idea was to strike while the iron was hot.
Take a look at the timeline here:
1)Madonna July 27, 1983 2)Like a Virgin November 12, 1984 3)True Blue June 30, 1986 4)Who's That Girl July 21, 1987 5)You Can Dance November 17,1987
So just over 4 years she released 3 studio albums, a soundtrack, and a remix album....and did two tours.

billboard www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/madonna-the-celebration-tour-225-million-1235674536/05/9/2024 Madonna Is Only Woman to Achieve This Boxscore Feat as The Celebration Tour Wraps The career-spanning trek swept through sold-out arenas in Europe and North America, becoming her sixth tour to gross $100 million or more. By Eric Frankenberg Madonna played the final shows of The Celebration Tour, closing her six-month trek with $225.4 million and 1.1 million tickets sold over 80 shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. The Celebration Tour is Madonna’s sixth trek to gross more than $100 million. The only other acts to achieve this are the Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and U2, making her the sole woman in this elite group. The Queen of Pop first announced The Celebration Tour in January 2023, with a planned start date in July of last year. But a medical emergency delayed the North American leg by five months, instead starting in Europe in October. There, she played 27 shows in 10 countries, finishing with $77.5 million and 429,000 tickets. By year’s end, Madonna played three shows in Brooklyn and two in Washington, D.C., before resuming the North American leg with 42 more shows from January through April. In the U.S. and Canada, she earned $133.1 million and sold 616,000 tickets, sending the tour’s total figures beyond $200 million and 1 million tickets. Finally, Madonna went to Latin America for the first time since 2016, as part of the Rebel Heart Tour. Five shows at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes grossed $14.8 million and sold 82,400 tickets. In all, The Celebration Tour’s $225 million finish marks Madonna’s highest-grossing tour in over a decade. While in Europe, it surpassed her theater experiment on the Madame X Tour ($51.5 million in 2019-20). And during her North American leg, she partied past the Rebel Heart Tour’s $169.8 million from 2015-16. Madonna’s recent high dates back to 2012’s MDNA Tour, which grossed $305.2 million and sold 2.2 million tickets. That trek played many of the same American arenas as The Celebration Tour, but took her to Europe’s outsized outdoor stadiums, plus a lengthier stadium run throughout Latin America. Her biggest tour ever was the one before that, earning $407.7 million from 3.5 million tickets on the Sticky & Sweet Tour (2008-09). The apples-to-apples improvement over the Rebel Heart Tour – Madonna’s most recent all-arena run – combines an uptick in ticket prices ($162.42 –> $199.93) with a 12% increase in average per-show attendance count (12,750 –> 14,274). That average attendance is missing an obvious asterisk. After playing her final show in Mexico City, Madonna staged a free concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking her first stop in the city since a Dec. 2, 2012, performance on the MDNA Tour. The show’s gargantuan success does not factor into her official Boxscore results because it was a free event, but it’s plenty worth noting that she drew 1.6 million people – roughly 40% more than the combined attendance of her entire tour. According to concert promoter Live Nation, it’s the largest audience ever for a stand-alone concert by any artist in history. The Celebration Tour pushes Madonna’s reported career total to $1.6 billion and – without accounting for the Brazil show – 12.8 million tickets.

Amazing read news.pollstar.com/2024/05/13/the-grandest-grand-finale-madonna-celebrates-record-setting-rio-show-touring-career/“For me, every day with [Madonna] in it is a blessing,” says longtime manger Guy Oseary from Rio, the day before the tour’s grand finale. It’s such an important point that he called back after our initial interview to clarify. “The tour is called ‘The Celebration Tour,’ so we’re celebrating her career, but we’re also celebrating her life. It’s perfect that it aligned already with celebrating her 40 years and then something like this happens. It isn’t like you had to shift anything; it just added extra meaning. It didn’t change the run of the show necessarily, it just brought more emotion to it. Everything is already a blessing, but it’s an even more meaningful blessing after what she endured and came back from.”
