By The Numbers: Martina’s Train Trek
Martina McBride’s “ELEVEN Across America powered by Amtrak” came to a close Friday night (10/14) in Manhattan when she became the first artist to perform a concert from the Empire State Building’s 80th floor. Hundreds of VIP guests, music industry executives, media and fans were in attendance at the private concert presented by Stanford Women’s Cancer Center. McBride flipped a switch to turn the world-famous building “pink” for the weekend in association with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and her latest single, “I’m Gonna Love You Through It.” The train trek launched her new album, Eleven, which debuted today with sales of 40,000 units.
