Gaga earns Guinness Record for the most attended concert EVER by a female (2.5M)

Because males tend to have the highest achievements in the music industry, for the most part. Or a woman sets a record but a man swoops in and takes it later. Sad, but true. That's why, when it comes to touring records, there's a different Wikipedia section for female achievements because, as great as those achievements are, they pale in comparison to male touring acts. If there was no female section, those women would've been a footnote except for Taylor, Beyonce and maybe Pink. A female sections means they're on top. Even Gaga can't beat their totals so the qualifier of "female" makes her more likely to hold onto the record for longer, maybe even forever. 

I guess, but no male has held a standalone concert with more than 2.5M people in attendance thus far and I can’t really think of any males that would be able to pull that number, so it’s legitimately both more accurate to say it’s the highest standalone concert of all time and it’s also still incredibly likely that she could hold that title for a very long time (and even if a male eclipsed her eventually, she’d still have the title of most attended female standalone of all time).

And Wikipedia now reports the CORRECT numbers 

 

They keep on changing it to 2.1 tho so if I keep modifying I may be blocked from editing it. 

Don't hesitate to edit it monsters and doing so following the sources rules article (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources ) by adding the variety article as the source!

The way it's been edited dozen times and they keep changing it back to 2.1M... the audacity 

How is Guiness World Record not the most reliable source?

They probably consider the mayor of the city the best source

I was gonna say "it's just .4, it's not a big deal" but it's 400,000 people so keep changing it

According to the Wikipedia article about sources validity, there's a doubt about Guinness so I re-added ( sic ) the Variety article since Variety is a source validated in this same article...

Now I bet they'll remove it anyway.

FOLKS DO NOT HESITATE to create a wiki account, it's quick to do and the Gaga haters are numerous of this page. 😆

I have the feeling that Gaga has turned Copacabana into an event. Since Brazil aims to make an annual event out of it, I think a lot of people/influencers will want to go even if they don't like the artist playing that year.

From my perspective Beyonce is the one that can beat. Brazil likes Taylor but not as much as Gaga or Bey. 

Yeah but keep in mind - taylors Fans are crazy and sibce it's a free concer they definitely would travel.
