So has the show actually begun?
-
Cool for M and Moscow!

Nope- and it was weird- Billboard had the chart dated 9/16 late last week, but still had the prior week's info.

But the album is deader than a doornail. Maybe I'll just make it a catalog title, which perhaps would be a record.
-
DWT also was her first tour in nearly 8 years- so it had even more hype and excitement than the last two. And, maybe Berlin is an area that causes greater impact, who knows.
-
I thought I was gonna post the info inthe COADF thread- there's no reason to let this dead horse gallop on.
-
Where was Music ranked before getting up to 21 in Germany? Was it as low as COADF?
-
Cher's gross was higher than $200m, to be accurate. There were 45 non-North American shows, after all. Just to be accurate.
-
Wonder why it re-entered this week and not the prior- did this past week see greater movement, overall than the prior week?
-
That's true- but peopple shouldn't get up in arms because Cher's tour will have a higher gross, regardless of the fact that she did soooooo many more shows- means nada, really.
-
What I posted is what appeared in Billboard- that with European and Australian dates inclued, Cher's tour grossed more than $200 million. Now, because the non-North American shows had a different promoter, I don't know if that counts separately or whatever- but the facts are the facts.
So, candylipsbaby, believe Billboard, cause here it is.
Not that any of this matters, becuase the CT is a bonafide huge success.

On The Road: Cher Tour Top Grosser Among Female Acts
By RAY WADDELL
As partings go, Cher's was such sweet sorrow, indeed.
And record-setting. It is safe to say that Cher just wrapped the top-grossing tour ever by a female artist.
The numbers generated on Cher's three-year Living Proof Farewell Tour are nothing short of remarkable. The tour concluded triumphantly April 29 and 30 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles with two sellouts that grossed $2.8 million.
During the course of 280 shows in North America, Cher played to 2,880,726 fans and grossed $194,683,927. More impressively, she played to 92% of capacity and realized 90% of her gross potential on the road. From Albany, N.Y., to Yakima, Wash., Cher played virtually every feasible market in the country.
Brad Wavra, touring VP at Clear Channel Entertainment, promoted the North American dates. "No other female artist has ever come close to what she did," he tells Billboard. "Not Madonna, not Bette Midler, not Janet, not Whitney, not Tina, because she outworked them all."
Including European concerts (promoted by Barrie Marshall) and Australian shows (promoted by Michael Coppell), Cher played 325 dates, grossing well over $200 million and playing to more than 3 million people. Wavra is quick to point out that despite its length, this was one complete tour. "She might have taken a month or two off physically, but she was always on sale," he says. "It was the same show, the same production, the same crew, everything."
A $200 million-plus tour puts Cher in some pretty exclusive company for an act not known for extensive touring. "If Cher's in the same company as the Rolling Stones and U2, that ain't a bad place to be," Wavra says.

Not sure why Billboard kept mentioning M having the biggest-grossing tour for a female- found an old article, and it clearly stated that Cher's North American tour grossed $194 million and change, and then well over $200 million with dates from Europe and Australia. Hmmm...

Not sure if this was mentioned, but:

Nice jump back to the Euro top 20!
-
So I imagine we'll see further upward movement on the Eurochart this week.

Well, it needs to pass $192.5 million to be the highest-grossing female tour.
-
Well, it's off the USA chart, so I don't think that 3,500 even would count toward a total for the United World chart. The UK tally was around 7K+ the past few weeks, so I guess sales from everywhere else aren't high enough for it get back on the chart right now.
