yall get so cringe with "album" streams. as if ppl are not just streaming singles. streaming really destroyed the nuance between album and single consumption.

the stats you are constantly stealing from UKMIX have her compilation edits accounted for her albums, hunny. Your math isn't mathing.

Madonna still has more monthly listeners and more daily streams than Mariah.

 

Madonna is obviously the bigger and more respected legend. 

hmm, all these decades of crushing the unknown xmas lady, and still pulling in below her? Why?

 

How many more decades will she need to come out on top?

but they must be streaming the madonna singles too which we all know are true hits unlike the forgotten music by anyone else.. and yet... among the 4 ladies she's only sporting the 7th biggest album...

 

We need more in depth analysis, I guess.

Trying to use the Christmas drag while using Popular receipts is hilarious, cheap, but predictable coming for you old hags. Ain't nobody streaming that song for Madonna, wasn't it offered to Britney first? 

 

Spoiler

I love Popular and Madonna i'm an old hag pls don't get offended

Madonna has her streams divided among multiple releases, studio albums, Greatest Hits albums, etc. But you knew that already Stevyy. 

 

There's a reason she has more overall streams than Whitney (even if you erase Popular) and more streams than Mariah (except between October / December since 2020).

 

You also chose a weird timing with this topic considering that Like a Prayer and Popular alone are doing like 2.2M together daily :rip:

Madonna is a singles artists, she's never had a huge selling album like other ladies. TIC sales are massively driven by cheap Club sales (like 5-6 million, only sold 6 million through Soundscan) where you could buy an album for a couple of cents. And  albums released before Soundscan era had their sales based on certifications which were reported by labels and we know that they are used to inflate sales massively. Not to mention that she doesn't have any mega classics like AIWFCIY, MHWGO or IWALY/IWDWS.

You tried it, sis. The rumors started outside the fan base and there's even a picture of them together. "The Idol" is very inspired by Britney's story, so the idea of her being the first option makes a lot of sense. Plus, The Weeknd has spoken about how he admires her a gazillion times.

 

Anyways, I love Madonna but her stans are such a toxic fan base, always with the need to diminish other women to make Madonna look like she's the only one that ever accomplished something. We get it, she's a legend, but other women can be as well. She's not the only one. You guys think she's the center of the universe, but so does she, so I guess she's toxic af just like y'all, and you really chose the right singer to stan. Congratulations for that.

Madonna is not a streaming force, she's a touring force.

 

The Celebration Tour USD 225M

 

Rainbow World Tour USD 6M
Charmbracelet World Tour USD 6M
The Adventures of Mimi Tour USD 28M
Angels Advocate Tour USD 9M
All I Want For Christmas Is You Residency USD 22M
#1 To Infinity Tour USD 23M
The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour USD 6M
Caution Tour USD 9M
Merry Christmas to All! Tour USD 3M
All the Hits Tour USD 17M
Merry Christmas One and All! USD 29M

 

= 159M

 

I have to lol. This is so stupid. 

 

Rainbow tour: The number you found out with your tireless research was 8 shows from North America out of 19 shows in total which Billboard even has at $7,1 million.

 

Charm Tour: Not a single concert, not even the most flopping one had a gross of below $300k. That being said, Pollstar has the North American shows at $6 million. 41 other shows to report and missing from your tireless research.

 

Adventures of Mimi: Again your number only includes her NA concerts. 8 shows missing, among them 6 shows from Japan alone.

 

And then the weirdest drag of them all, Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour: The biggest flop show is listed as $284k. That number you gave reflects 10 out of 31 shows. 

 

That's some Kellyanne **** you're doing. 

 

Now, a sane rund-down:

 

Concert Tours: (15 tours, 318 concerts)

=$246,8m

 

Residencies: (5 residencies, 139 concerts)

= $45 million (excl. The Celebration of Mimi)

 

International Christmas Concert Tour (1 International Xmas Concert Series, 20 concerts)

= $13m - All I want for Christmas Is You: A Night of Joy and Festifity

 

Overall live concert revenue: $304,8 million with 477 concerts. (that's an average of $638,993 per concert and not the super ridiculous $86k you provided. Who would even book Mariah if her concerts would only generate $86k? LOL

 

 

I mean drag her numbers... but don't resort to some Kellyanne ****, man.

And Abel expressed his massive admiration for Madonna and said his ultimate dream was to work/produce an entire album for her. FACTS, not assumptions.
