The Springsteen Tour, the Rihanna Streaming Boom, and the Return of Ted Lasso

The CEO on the Road

Bruce Springsteen is preparing for the continuation of his United States tour. Now that he is circling back, fans of The Boss in several U.S. locations that were left off of the first leg will get the opportunity to see him. Additional 18 gigs have been added to the tour, beginning on August 9 at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Starting in two weeks, tickets will be released in a staggered manner, and for most stops, fans will need to use Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program to gain access.

Rihanna’s Streams

Rihanna’s performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show garnered five million more views than the actual game, resulting in a fivefold increase in viewership. This trend persisted in regard to streaming her songs. Bad Gyal, born in Barbados, witnessed a 640 percent increase in Spotify streams. Three of her tracks, including Umbrella, We Found Love, and Love on the Brain, surpassed one billion streams during the same time frame. She also witnessed a huge boost in Apple Music streaming.
