I'm a bit surprised Eagles lagging too far behind Madonna. I love their latest album so much.

I'm really surprised by these figures. I would have thought that digital music piracy would have had a bigger impact on their earnings which still seem to be going up more and more each year.

Surprised to see Kenny as the top country artist up there. And Madonna taking a substantial lead there. So where's Fergie :)

Cool list. Thanks!

I would love to know what one would do with 97 million dollars, much less 400 plus million. I would love to see it in stacks of pennies!

Woah, its crazy how rich and how far the music industry can get you.

They all have such a unique sound, its great that there are sites that offer thier original sounds, and that you can sing yourself.
