This is speculation only and is not official. Edited March 25, 2023 by muse samuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muse samuse Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Kill Or Be Killed climbed to #20 on the latest published Mediabase Active Rock Airplay chart with over 500 weekly spins at that radio format in America. On the latest Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart it also jumped to #20 to become the band's sixth Top 20 track on that survey. WOTP occupies position #43 on the latest published France Top Albums Physiques chart by SNEP in its 27th consecutive week on that tally Plug In Baby will likely surpass 1,100 live career performances at the end of their WOTP worldwide tour which is by far the most played track in their discography with the first performance taking place at a club in Amterdam in January 2000. It was also played a couple times in America during their Showbiz tour including Brownies in New York City Fun facts: The early demo versions of PiB date back to 1997 with the final version with the JS Bach intro guitar riff completed in late 1999 and early 2000 when Matt was 19-21 years old. Some scholars believe Bach may also have composed his famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor in his late teens/early 20's circa 1703-1707. Bach was born in 1685.

muse samuse Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) MUSE will likely have earned their highest grossing one-night concert of all time on 8 July 2023 with an estimated 7 million-plus euros (US$7.7 million) in box office revenue at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis as part of the WOTP World Tour surpassing the US$6.7 million earned for the band's one-night gig at London Stadium in June 2019. Career revenue at SDF for seven MUSE shows will total over US$40 million with just over 500,000 tickets sold. For gigs taking place in the first quarter of 2023, MUSE will have grossed an estimated US$19 million from 18 shows in Mexico, Canada and the USA with around 265,000 tickets sold. This will rank them in the Top 5 tours by British artists during the past three months: Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles each with around US$80-US$90 million for shows in Oceania and California/Oceania/Asia respectively and Coldplay and Elton John each with over US$50 million for shows in Brazil and Oceania/Europe respectively. American artist Taylor Swift will have grossed about $65 million from just 5 stadium shows in late March. She is on track to earn approx US$700 million from 52 stadium shows in the USA and perhaps US$1 billion for the entire calendar year 2023 from possible not yet announced legs in Europe and elsewhere. Song Trivia: This early MUSE track was originally titled Nova Scotia and was last played at a gig in Latvia features the following: Three modulations (Verses and main riff in D minor; the chorus in G minor; and the outro in D Major) Diminished fifth D Locrian scale What MUSE track in E minor with multiple chord progressions including a sample from Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto and a reference to the H8 microcomputer is considered to be one ot the Top 3 most complex compositions in Matt's discography along with TaB and KoC?
