As we all kow, Madonna will wrap her Confessions Tour tomorrow at the Tokyo Dome, but the great news comes in from Billboard today that "Confessions" will establish as the top-grossing tour ever by a female artist.
"Although final numbers are not all in - Ray Waddell reports on Billboard.com - tour producer Arthur Fogel puts the tally at $193.7 million from 60 shows that drew nearly 1.2 million in paid attendance.
That gross narrowly puts Madonna over Cher's benchmark of $192.5 million.
However, it took Cher an endurance-testing 273 shows between June 2002 and April 2005 to reach that mark on her marathon Farewell tour.
Madonna's Confessions tour followed the same model of the $125 million-grossing re-Invention tour in 2004 and the $75 million-grossing Drowned World tour in 2001.
Rather than visit 100 global markets à la mega acts like the Rolling Stones and U2, Madonna opted to play multiple nights in a limited number of major international locales. The strategy has led to a staggering $400 million in ticket sales in just six years."

Madonnan kiertue teki ennätystuoton

Popin kuningatar Madonna teki tänään Tokioon päättyneellä kiertueellaan naisartistien uuden kiertuetuottoennätyksen, kertoo amerikkalainen musiikkilehti Billboard internetsivullaan.
Madonnan 60 konsertin pituinen maailmankiertue tuotti kaikkiaan hieman yli 150 miljoonaa euroa. Edellistä naisartistien kiertuetuottoennätystä piti hallussaan Cherin kiertue vain miljoona euroa Madonnaa pienemmällä tuotolla. Cherin kiertue oli tosin 273 show'n mittainen.
Confessions ei ollut Madonnan ensimmäinen menestyskiertue. Kuuden viime vuoden aikana Madonnan konsertteihin on ostettu pääsylippuja 315 miljoonalla eurolla. (STT)
