#1 Madonna
#2 Lady Gaga
#3 Bon Jovi
I found it telling that music sales didn't seem to be a major factor in money earned for performers on the list. Madonna made most of her money from touring and merchandise sales.
Quotes from the story that I found interesting:
“With touring being the biggest revenue stream, if there’s an opportunity for an artist to go out, if there’s an opportunity for a promoter to curate a festival, people are doing it".
"A look at the rest of the list underscores the importance of live performances in today’s music world".
"A few of the musicians on our list, however, generate nearly all their income to sources other than music sales, record labels and touring".
