Other designers working on the tour included Stella McCartney, Christian Lacroix, and Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. To start out marketing the album, she embarked on a promotional tour throughout the United States and Europe; she performed at the total Request Live studios in New York, the HMV store on Oxford Street, London, and appeared at BBC One's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and Top of the Pops. Madonna then appeared on prime of a stack of Tv units, dressed in military fatigues and a beret, to carry out "American Life". Originally, "Vogue" (1990) was chosen as the opening quantity until Madonna determined to use "The Beast Within" as a substitute; also, "Nobody Knows Me" was first rehearsed in its Peter Rauhofer's Perfect Private Life Mix. At the end, twenty-4 of the thirty rehearsed songs made the ultimate set listing.
