Chart Scene: P!nk Debuts At No. 1 On Live75 With European ‘Summer Carnival’ Shows
P!NK makes her first 2024 appearance on LIVE75 ranked No. 1 based on box-office totals reported from three German stadium shows on her “Summer Carnival” tour’s European leg. She earns the “Hot Shot” classification with the highest ranked chart debut of the week and also scores “Heavy Hitter” status as the artist with the largest gross average per show.
The first concert was a July 17 event at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig where she racked up $7.4 million from a sellout crowd numbering 41,437. Then on the 19th she sold out a performance in Stuttgart at MHPArena with 43,344 fans in attendance, grossing $6.9 million. And two days later, her show at Borussia Park in Mönchengladback drew 42,125 fans and logged a box-office take of $5.4 million.
All three dates were produced by Köln-based concert promoter Peter Rieger Konzertagentur, and together they moved 127,906 tickets and grossed $19.78 million. The averages per show, which determine chart placement, came to 42,635 in tickets and $6,592,006 in revenue.
P!NK launched the summer trek through Europe on June 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales and performed 17 concerts during the run. Her final European date was a performance at Strawberry Arena (formerly Friends Arena) in Stockholm on July 25. Looking ahead, the final leg of her “Summer Carnival” stadium tour will kick off at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis on Aug. 10 with shows booked through mid-November.
The highest ranked concert performer on the Artist Power Index is Future who earns the No. 17 ranking on the chart after launching the “We Trust You Tour” with Metro Boomin. The first two performances on the co-headlining trek, both landing in this week’s chart eligibility period, were a July 30 concert at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri and a show the following night at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The tour supports the two collaborative albums by the artists titled We Don’t Trust You, released earlier this year in March and We Still Don’t Trust You that arrived the following month.
The only other concert headliner making a debut on the Artist Power Index in this issue is Imagine Dragons, ranked No. 21. The band hit the road on July 30 behind the release of the album Loom that bowed on June 28 through Kidinakorner and Interscope Records. Booked in North American amphitheaters through the end of October, the “Loom World Tour” is set to feature 35 shows in 29 venues. Included on the schedule is a two-show engagement in Toronto, a three-night run in Salt Lake City and a four-show tour finale booked at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Also, this year the band will appear at the “Rock in Rio” festival held in Rio de Janeiro in September.
LIVE75’s “Breakthrough” classification goes to German band Pur (No. 33) with 10 concerts at outdoor sites in Germany during June and July. The group sold out all performances, averging 7,414 sold tickets per concert during the trek. Also on the chart, Nikki Glaser is the “Noise Maker,” moving up seven positions to No. 59 based on tickets sold at four shows.
