Mariah was never a huge touring act, even at her commercial peak, she only did like 13 shows total. Whitney Houston was a touring machine, doing over 400 shows between 1985 – 1999, but she toured before ticket prices spiked thru the roof, during the 00’s and 10’s. She didn’t overcharge people to come see her during her peak in the Bodyguard years too. Madonna’s touring numbers were good in the 80’s & 90’s, but she didn’t start bringing in huge numbers until the 2000’s, when artists started charging hundreds – thousands of dollars for 2 hour shows.

Tina for example did hundreds of shows on her tours, but Madonnas tours were far more successful if you compare how much they grossed with the number of shows they did.
Tina Turner Break Every Rule tour made 60 million out of 218 shows.
Madonnas Who’s That Girl made 25 million out of 38 shows.
Can you please correct in Page 34 at the article, the seventh album doesn’t have question mark(?) in it’s name, which looks like (Just Whitney?) instead of the correct one (Just Whitney)
To those creators of this site, especially MJD, we need an update for Whitney’s article since it’s already longer than we expected.

Well, yes. Because Madonna overcharged people back then. She always did.
Or maybe other females couldn’t afford to charge as high prices as Madonna?
That shows a lot about Madonnas star power if anything.
Yes, Barbra Streisand charges even more than her. But its still greedy imo. Adele is starting to do it now. Horrible.
