What happens

MDNA World Tour is the fourth live album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on September 6, 2013, by Interscope Records as a full concert on all formats including a double-disc CD, DVD, and Blu-ray. Madonna had embarked on the MDNA Tour for promotion of her twelfth studio album MDNA. The tour was a commercial success although it courted a number of controversies. The performances at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida during the North American leg of the MDNA Tour were documented for video release. The recording was directed by Danny B. Tull and Stephane Sennour who included footage from other shows of the tour. Madonna had spent six months editing the footage from the films and together with Tull and Sennour, she developed the video for the songs she had performed as a mini-movie. Shot as a documentary, MDNA World Tour included the best shots available from different locations of the tour, while emphasizing Madonna's impact on the younger generation of artists. Prior to the release, a concert television special, Madonna: The MDNA Tour, was broadcast in the United States by Epix on June 22, 2013. A premiere took place at the Paris Theater, in New York City the same month. The release received mixed reviews from critics, with one group of reviewers commending the technicality and the visuals attached with the show, while others noting the absence of Madonna's hit songs from the set list. After the release, news outlets around the world wrote about bad manufacturing of the CD and DVD, with many buyers reportedly choosing to return their purchase. Within a week Interscope released a statement, redacting the Blu-ray discs in the United States. MDNA World Tour reached the top of the album chart in Hungary, and top-ten in France, Italy, Russia, and Spain, but it failed to achieve high chart positions similar to the singer's previous live albums in the United States and United Kingdom. However, the video version enjoyed more success, reaching number one in most DVD charts worldwide and earning triple platinum in Brazil, platinum in Canada and Portugal, and gold in Poland. The release topped the US Billboard Top Music Videos chart with sales of 11,000 copies, becoming her sixth consecutive and tenth video to top the chart—the most for any artist.
