Dam, Sade is still in the game. I thought she retired.
ReplyDeleteElton John shitting on everyone with minimal effort, as usual.
ReplyDeleteMan, Britney is the highest paid female?! The interesting thing here is that, compared to the other females below her, she hardly moves a finger. Cuz like you mention, Rihanna seems to work restless left and right and she's always on the radio and what not, and she still couldn't land in the top 10. It's incredible what a good job Britney has done in creating a brand off of just her name, and not her craft only. Props to her for that
ReplyDeleteIsnt the 2012 list comprised of figures from May 2011-May 2012?
ReplyDeleteIf so, Beyonce made that during her whole 4 era. Not changing diapers.
um, donde esta la reina madonna? like wtf she's about to finish another 'highest grossing tour'
ReplyDeleteThe list is from May 2011-May2012. She'll be on next years list for sure.
