194. hopefully, madonna is recession proof

according to billboard, madonna is adding about 25 more shows to her already damn successful sticky and sweet tour.

after already grossing over us$280 million in only 58 shows and setting a world record for having the highest grossing tour by a solo artist, she either probably decided to 乘胜追机, or realised that record sales are declining so seriously that she needed to tour to earn more money.

judging from her sales now, she should probably be able to rake in over us$400 million in 80+ shows, making the sticky annd sweet tour the 2nd highest grossing tour of all time.
