The Top-Earning Woman in Music

Lady Gaga has led the pack with a staggering $90 million total boosted by strong album sales, endorsements and an extremely lucrative world tour.

Lady Gaga’s total was more than the combined earnings of No. 2 Taylor Swift ($45 million) and No. 3 Katy Perry ($44 million), both of whom also benefited from heavy touring and popular albums.

Amazing how someone with no talent can make all that money.

Just an opinion which I have a right to express, knock it off with the cheap shots.

I'm not a fan, but I can't deny she's a very talented songwriter and performer.

So she's beaten out Madonna as the top-selling female singer? Hopefully the Material Girl's new album next year will sell well and put her back on top again. Lady Gaga though, is a good singer in my opinion and deserves whatever awards she is given.

For being the metal fan she says she is, you'd think that would be in alot of her music, I just don't hear it. Or maybe I'm just not listening hard enough(just what I hear on the radio). I'm more interested in what outrageous outfit she's going to wear, more than her music though!!

Look up "Bad Kids." It's metal meets electropop. It's one of my favorites
