i don't love this, but i don't hate it either

I don't love his work but I don't dislike it either. There's some heavy hate going on towards him on here that's making me a bit unconfortable. He's just sharing the things he does as a fan, it's not his fault that Madonna likes that type of art. Of course there's more skilled amateur designers out there but well. Chill!

I've had people tell me that some songs in my made-up setlists aren't super realistic because I usually have songs that didn't chart in the Hot 100 and are unknown to the general public, which I always thought was funny because a) the world isn't the US and M had international hits that were ignored by the Hot 100 up until she left Warner, b) pretty sure the gp wouldn't mind sitting through Get Together in a show where they'd also get Like a Virgin, Dress You Up, Don't Tell Me, etc., c) the general public might fill out the arenas, but the super fans are the ones who'll stick with her if she's playing the Starbucks in the corner and I find a moderate dose of fan service/pandering to be a really good way business decision, since focusing too much on the general public has gotten us a bunch of similar arrangements of Holiday and LIB over and over again that sound rushed and like they were just thrown in there and d) it's fake.

Could you link this interview? I'd like to see it.
I wish we knew the budget for each one of her tours so we can have an idea how much of a profit they (and Madonna) have made.

thank you!

I can't remember if I've posted my version of the Madame X Tour here and even though it's not all that different, here:
MADAME X TOUR
Act I
- The Coffin (BATUKADEIRAS/DANCER INTRO)
1. Batuka
2. Dark Ballet

20. Come Alive
21. I Rise
I liked the idea of an intimate theater tour a lot, I just would've done fewer dates in each city (a maximum of 6) and more cities/countries, make something really special and limited for the super fans. I don't understand why she did 14 dates in New York if she could've played two arena shows and had about the same attendance.

Okay, I'm terrible at naming things, so ignore all the act names.
What I'm thinking is M wakes up one day next year and she's like "Hey! Next year will be my 40th industry anniversary. I was super bored during quarantine and the Madame X Tour didn't go as planned and I've never bothered to preserve my legacy so I think I'll do something different and give the fans what they want. *picks up phone* Stuart? You're in."
So this is my Greatest Hits Dream Setlist that is TOTALLY undoable even though I've envisioned many of these songs being performed in shorter versions to fit everything in in a ~150 min show and it having less complex dance numbers for M so she can rest her body and voice and not die of exhaustion. For starters, there are many songs here I think M has completely forgotten about and I imagine this as (somewhat limited*) stadium tour with more elaborate technology and staging than The MDNA Tour.
But a guy can dream:

Act I would be very New York in the 80's theme, as if it were re-introducing Madonna to us again. Act II would comments on/poke fun/critique the media's image of M throughout the decades. Act III would be M pushing boundaries and not being afraid to be sexual in her terms, regardless of the backlash. Act IV would sort of be M commenting on her many loves and heartbreaks throughout the years. Act V would be Political!Donna. Act VI would be a big celebration party to get everyone dancing and a big thank you to her fans. I tried to build the setlist, including the interludes, around each themes.

I was super bored during quarantine and the Madame X Tour didn't go as planned and I've never bothered to preserve my legacy so I think I'll do something different and give the fans what they want. *picks up phone* Stuart? You're in."
So this is my Greatest Hits Dream Setlist that is TOTALLY undoable even though I've envisioned many of these songs being performed in shorter versions to fit everything in in a ~150 min show and it having less complex dance numbers for M so she can rest her body and voice and not die of exhaustion. For starters, there are many songs here I think M has completely forgotten about and I imagine this as (somewhat limited*) stadium tour with more elaborate technology and staging than The MDNA Tour.
But a guy can dream:

Act I would be very New York in the 80's theme, as if it were re-introducing Madonna to us again. Act II would comments on/poke fun/critique the media's image of M throughout the decades. Act III would be M pushing boundaries and not being afraid to be sexual in her terms, regardless of the backlash. Act IV would sort of be M commenting on her many loves and heartbreaks throughout the years. Act V would be Political!Donna. Act VI would be a big celebration party to get everyone dancing and a big thank you to her fans. I tried to build the setlist, including the interludes, around each themes.

The venue capacity thing is questionable, I guess. Depending on the stage and how many seats are put on sale for the floor section.
For example, the AT&T Stadium in Arlington has an 80,000 people capacity expandable to 105,000, but according to Billboard, Taylor Swift sold out two dates of her Reputation Tour with a total of 105,002 tickets sold (or 52,501 per night).
At first glance, this looks like a clear-cut case of tampering, but the second show was filmed for Netflix and you can clearly see everything except for obviously the seats behind the stage is filled.
...but again, even if the stage obscured, say, 1/4 (20,000) of the stadium, the floor would still get the number of available seats up from the 60,000 seats left on the stadium stands.
So yeah. I don't know how this works.

Promoter submits, Billboard prints.
There were all the fan created conspiracy theories about 'Technical sellouts' and 'target figures' which are all nonsense. Billboard just report what the promoters tell them.

As i understand it, Billboard just report the numbers that are given to them. The obvious discrepancy in some attendance totals compared to venue capacity, together with first hand experience from shows has lead some to speculate a sell out number is anything equal to or higher than a target figure the promoter had in mind. This seems like a reasonable theory but really that's all it is. So basically a show is sold out when the promoter says it is.

For those who are on Tumblr, I made a gifset of the teaser here:

I'd also like to add that the original album is still very much there, available in every streaming platform.
They didn't remove it, it's still there in all its unremastered glory, so it's not like we're losing anything (I'd pissed if they'd replaced it too), we're gaining something.
Don't like/is disappointed by the 30th anniversary version? Absolutely fine and valid - again, not what the album deserved - but what we have is an addition, not a loss or replacement.

I liked it.
It's not perfect nor what this album deserved, but at least they had something and it didn't go completely ignored like the ROL/Erotica anniversaries did, with just some vague lip-service paid to it by whoever* is managing her non-personal posts on social media.
*btw, i mean no offense to this person, you can tell they are really trying but are provided with nothing to work with.

What scares me the most is that a lot of this songs/interludes could be included on the next tour... ?
But I have to say that I laughed so hard to this, especially to "Crazy for You (Benny Benassi Remix)" and to "Incredible (2nd part only)" ????
 

This release was likely handled by Warner and they're not allowed to release anything new without Madonna's approval, so don't expect Angels With Dirty Faces etc to be released until she agrees to it.
It's a shame this version isn't complete (why they skipped Promise to Try & Act of Contrition, I have no idea) but I'm thankful that we finally have Supernatural on streaming! Next stop - to upload all of her 7"/12"/remixes...
