Carrie Underwood continues to tour with the Voice’s The Swon Brothers as her opening act. They were swinging through the South to mostly sold-out venues. The Sing-Off’s Pentatonix were in Texas and The Amazing Race’s Canaan Smith opened for Brantley Gilbert in Nebraska. ABC’s Nashville show also did a concert in Illinois.
Justin Timberlake made history this week when his “Can’t Stop the Feeling” was the first song ever added to every pop station in a single week. And he did it at time when the number of pop stations are at an all-time high: 186
Looks like people are willing to pay handsomely for the right concerts. The Desert Trip Mega-Concert featuring The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, The Who and others sold out in 3 hours. 35K reserved tickets were offered at the following rates: $1,599, $999 and $699. General admission? $399. The box office gross is $150M…wow.
