Not only this, but the bigger the stadium, the bigger the rent for the show. So then the tickets cost even more for the fans just to pay for the show's rent alone, along with the actual show itself. I'm sure Beyoncé has no problem making that money back but if you're doing numbers of $500k-$1m in arena tickets, the math changes in terms of who's making more for shows

Idk if it's bc I'm high but I'm not understanding a word

 

Wdym the rent? Like the amount they're paying the stadium for access?

Yeah, like Beyonce or any artist at these big arenas have to rent out the arena for a night/two nights. That's how it all works, as far as I'm aware. I know someone who works one or two of the venues in Colorado (wherever the money goes, she goes) so when shows get cancelled, they still end up having to pay for it and it becomes a huge loss. That's why a lot of artists don't want to cancel and put on a guise that it's because of the fans but in reality it's them or the label being put out of money (I'm not sure that the label does much for the tours, as much as the artist or their team does. I'm not 100% sure who exactly pays what but money exchanges hands for shows to happen at venues before shows happen. Maybe a security deposit sort of thing? Idk all of the details.)

 

Its the most likely reason Lana hasn't toured since - it costs less to just... not lol

Lana touring is and absolutely would be profitable.. I rly doubt it's even a driving factor behind her not touring recently

Speaking of live shows and horrendous ticket pricing, look no further than the merger of Ticket Master & Live Nation trash all the way around

This is such a pointless thread Beyonce spent a large part of her career before streaming or Spotify was really a thing so of course Lana who's career and popularity existed along side the rise of Spotify would have more monthly listeners or whatever. I mean Lana currently has more monthly listeners than Madonna.... Are you gonna try and argue that Lana is bigger than MADONNA?!?!?! Both women are legends in their own right stop trying compare them it's giving ATRL levels of weirdness.

It is so sad to see fans be so negative about something very positive for Lana. Hopefully some members can bring some positivity to the thread.

If only Beyoncé bought better music

Madonna, as iconic and legendary as she is, hasn’t had a big album hit since Music in the 2000s… 

So I’m not really surprised that Lana has more monthly listeners than her, TBH.

Not to say that Lana is more « talented » or whatever, both are excellent in their own genres, but Lana does have a quality to her music that makes you want to go back to her albums over and over again, which helps her follower’s numbers.

You really didn't understand my point 

[Strangelove 1,838]

@Pyscho Lifeguard , you are just being negative.

Maybe not  but I thought we were pretty much saying the same thing. Maybe my wording was bad before my second coffee haha! 
kinda agree that the monthly followers aren’t a big indicator of someone’s popularity (and even less of talent), but it’s an interesting data to compare an artist with themselves. As for Lana, her fan base is growing with time and, to me, that’s what it’s about. But it’s also something that fluctuates a lot with events: I’m pretty sure she lost a Chunk of followers when she posted QFTC
