Who makes the biggest bucks in music? Billboard’s annual Money Makers ranking of the top earners is more than a little bit country.
Here's The Top 5:
5. The Rolling Stones at $26,225,121.71
4. Bon Jovi at $29,436,801.04
3. Justin Timberlake at $31,463, 297.03
2. Kenny Chesney at $32,956, 240.70
1. Taylor Swift $39,699,575.60
According to Billboard, Physical, digital, touring — Taylor Swift, 23, crushed it on pretty much every level in 2013, with merchandising, branding and sponsorships (not factored into her total haul) only upping her stature as a mainstream go-to. Indeed, Swift has hit that sweet-spot demo that captures revenue from every angle. Her album sales are eighth among all of Billboard’s Money Makers and trail only Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton among country acts. On the digital front, Swift is an elite artist at nearly 10 million downloads, ranking sixth, and she’s fifth in streaming royalties, leaving her country peers in the dust.
