In July 2005, Madonna performed "Like A Prayer" at Live 8 in Hyde Park, London, a high-profile concert aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat global poverty. This performance came shortly after the release of her album "Confessions on a Dance Floor," which debuted in November 2005. At this point in her career, Madonna was experiencing a resurgence in popularity, especially with the dance-pop genre, and the album would go on to garner critical and commercial success. Interestingly, Live 8 was a significant event not only for its star-studded lineup but also for its vast global reach, with an estimated 2 billion viewers tuning in. Madonna's participation underscored her role as both a musical icon and a prominent advocate for social issues, reflecting her commitment to using her platform for activism during a pivotal moment in global awareness.
