So the tour started in 2022 and continues until September 2026? I knew something was up :patrice:

That's how most stadium tours work. Ed Shereen's tour went from 2022 until September of this year. Stadium tours are expensive and oftentimes a label/artist will want to maximize as much potential $$$ from an album or era. The album becomes the vehicle that drives 3+ years of your career. Then when you're done the label has an even bigger pile of cash that they offer you in exchange for doing it all again.

Kendrick is almost certainly gonna drop another album and tour next year, in some type of continuation of the GNX stadium tour. I kind of feel ehh about it because once you get on that stadium wheel you don't just hop off, and it impacts everything you do. Which means we're prob not getting an experimental or "left" album from Kendrick anytime soon. It'll be more hits, more golden boy (Jack Antonoff) involvement, more spectacle. Not saying I didn't like GNX, it's dope. But I hope at some point Kendrick is about to escape that cycle and tone it down.

Never been a fan of his music but I worked at the concert here in Detroit, literally right in front of the middle of the stage and it was one of the best concert experiences I've ever been to. Stage show was crazy. Was off a strong ass gummie too; shyt had me hypnotized.

every day we get updates that whichever powerhouse name that has finished touring is the new top tour earner. on everything didn't swift, drake, kdot, beyonce, bad bunny get similar applause. i'm also certain if bts or blackpink announced a comeback tour, they'll break that number.

Based on the lack of success of The Weeknd's last couple albums, it wouldn't cross my mind that he is the #1 male artist. But based on how is overall catalog of hits does on streaming (He has the record for most songs with over a billion streams on Spotify), it's believable.



@I love Latina women Did you ever dive into The Weeknd's catalog like you did with Drake's catalog a few years ago?
