Looks like Britney made #14…did you mean she wasn't in the top TEN?
Britney still doing well considering SHE HASNT TOURED OR EVEN PUBLICISED HER ALBUM HERSERL SO STICK THAT IN YOUR ASS - GO BRITNEY GO
I thought you said Britney didn't make the top 20?
…..she's #14.
How the hell is it that Shakira made it to the top five? AND how did she beat out Mariah? I haven't heard anything fresh from Shakira (Besides that gig with Beyonce, which wasn't that great by the way) for a few years. Hmm….makes me wonder. At least unfitney should have made it in the top 10. She has a decent album!
if she did't make the top 20, why is she listed as number 14?
wheres ALICIA KEYS??
Miley made 3.5 mil in 2007, she'll rank higher next year
Britney's #14
How the fuck did Streisand end up at # 2 ?
OH yea, remember they added the extra $$ to all tickets sold for her favorite charity
Looks like Nana Nose is her favorite charity
Ummm, Perez. You said Britney didnt make the top 20?? She's right there at number 14.
And where is Miley Cyrus?? Aren't her tickets going for like $5,000 a piece???
you say britney spears didnt make the top 20……… but she did. hmm
If Britney "Didn't Make the Top 20" as your headline says - then why the hell do you have her listed at #14, ya morons?
umm, yeah Brit Brit did make it on the list.
Jack ass! Britney did make the top 20. She is number 14. Maybe you meant the top 10?
You said: Yup, Britney didn't make the top 20!
She's number 14… idiot.
Perez… she's at 14… isn't that IN the top 20. She didn't make the top 10.
Dumbass britney is # 14. Isn't that number in the top 20. what a loser.
nevermind, i read that wrong:)
Dumbass britney is # 14. Isn't that number in the top 20. what a loser.
It's actually really surprising Miley Cyrus didn't even make the top 20 list, especially with that Hannah Montanna craze going on.
"Shakira, Shakiraaaa"
–
Damn ! Those lucky bitches !
WHO WRITES THIS SHIT.THEY MUST BE MORONS THEY ALWAYS FUCK UP.YEAH BRITNEY DIDNT MAKE THE TOP 20.THEN WHAT IS SHE DOING ON #14 YOU FREAKN IDIOTS
are you all retarded? britney is #14..and obviously did make the top 20.
Britney didn't make the top TEN … let's actually read the list before you add commentary, Perez.
Britney didn't make the top 20, unless #14 counts as being in the top 20, dumb-ass.
You said britney didnt make the top 20, i think you mean top 10 because she is number 14….
What about Miley Cyrus?
UMMMMMM……Surprisingly yes Britney DID make the top 20, she's #14.
Dixie Chicks are SHHHHHIIIIITTTTTYYYYYY!!!!!!
Madonna didnt even release an album in 2007 and she is still on top…WORK BITCH!!! cant WAIT for her new album to drop…Madonna is KING!!!!
stfu with the 'first' comments, n00bs. gosh.
You say britney didnt make the top 20, yet she is #14 ??
duh!
Ten very talented, hard working ladies - good for the biz.
Dayum Barbara Streisand still making money
You said brit didn't make the top 20, but I see her listed at 14. I thought 14 was between 1 and 20 the last I checked.
HILARY !!~~
You are so lame and obviously can't read what you type! Brit 's #14 on the list biatch!!!!!!
Britney didn't make it? Her net worth is already over 100 million and 8 million is way too much money for someone who sleeps all day and spends her nights going to starbucks, gas stations, convenience stores, fast food restaurants, driving around and having meltdowns. i wish i had it so easy.
Barbra Streisand??? BARF!!! I hate that bitch. Who in their right mind would pay to see or hear anything she does?
Madonna will always be the quenn
But the Princess ain't Britney…is SHAKIRA, SHAKIRA!
You mean Paris did not make it at all??? LMAO! Oh, she is going to be
pissed!
SO KNOW YOU MORON REALIZE YOU FUCKED UP.SO YOU FIX IT AND PUT SHE DIDNT MAKE THE TOP 10.PEREZ YOUR A MORON AND A FAT UGLY BIATCH.STOP TALKING SHIT ABOUT EVERYBODY ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER LOOKING AND HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOUR FAT ASS
Britney did not tour, that is why she did not make more money. Madonna and Barbra Streisand had both successful tours.
I'm never suprised when Madonna is #1.
:)
damn, what exactly did Britney Spears DO to earn $8 million last year???
… hasn't had a hit for an eternity, it's revealing which way Madonna's career is headed–the old hag's heap. Their good days are behind them (and I'm a raving Babs fan), and they both only sell the old stuff. Considering the new wealth of highly populated countries like India and China, it's no wonder that their mid-class, who likely haven't had the $$ to spend on music before, are stocking up on the oldies.
What happened to Janet Jackson??? I don't see her name on the list.
#14 for britney is pretty good considering she did nothing all of 2007! haha…eat that fat ass (which you probably will since it looks like you eat EVERYTHING!)
Re: Fuck off cunts – Just wondering wtf are "pieces of cock fuck"……..hmmmm you must be brilliant.
shakira is so hot ! I wanna do her!!
I guess this is only for the US, if not Utada Hikaru would have been included. Last year she saw a single, "Flavor of life" sell 8,300,000 copies. And that was just a single.
CELINE DION!!!!!!!!!!THE QUEEN OF THE music!!!!!!!AT THE TOP 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I think is really interesting is that most of these ARE NOT MUSICIANS, they are SINGERS. Musicians play instruments. They're female entertainers. Way to be specific Forbes!
Wow Gwen at n.6 with $26mil that's awesome!!! She's so amazing she takes care of her kid AND made the Sweet Escape tour the most successful tour of 2007 by a female singer! Amazing. She's the queen of Interscope afterall
HAHAHA MARIAH CAREY DIDN'T MAKE AN ALBUM 2007 AND SHE STILL IN THE LIST !!!! BEFORE NELLY FURTADO,FERGIE,AVRIL … WOOOWW !!!
Shakira is rightfully #4 because she's an international artist. This girl has been making bank since she was 16 years old…Miley makes pennies compared to what Shakira made at her age.
Good for her and good for Xtina.
Hey, put me on the list! I can be Number One or Number 20! I don't care.
Just as long as I am on the list! Marc Jacobs here I come!
Jennifer Lopez? WHAT? Her cd BOMBED.
Carrie did not make that much due to her contract with AI. They make all her money
and Mylene Farmer ?
i'm surprised Barbra Streisand made 60mil when she has been retired for how long? She's still living off music she recorded 20 yrs ago.
i would have expected miley cyrus to be on there
I'm surprised Beyonce is after Shakira but I guess that because she was and is more famous in the Latin American countries
What I find really interesting is that most of these women ARE NOT MUSICIANS, they are SINGERS! Musicians play instruments. They are femaile ENTERTAINERS. Get it right Forbes.
Damn. Madonna is loving liiifeee. That is soo much money! Someof these girls are so young, they must be so proud!
not a lick of talent in any of them (well, Babs can sing but she's a fossil now)
yeah, Perez, where that talentless, horse faced dishrag of a woman know as Kylie Minogue?? i guess doing whoring yourself for any shabby advertiser in Oz doesn't pay that much
what happened to the days when jlo made 30 million a year????
beyonce!!??? pleeeease. What have you done for me lately?
Re: hah –
MADONNA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
SO THERE SUCK IT , SUCK IT HARD DOUCHE BAG HATERS!!!!!!
Madonna fucking RULES!!! She is freain immortal. Who else would be #1? Genius living legend. Love her!!!!
Wow Celine Dion. U R the DIVA
seriously people, after the first 10 posts, I think we got it that Britney is #14 and Perez typed something wrong…calm down, it happens.
Lol…I hope you all kept in mind that most of those people, excluding britney, have done tours in the past 4-6 years…britney hasn't and is STILL making that much.
Re: larisa –
Hello dumbasses he said
"Yup, Britney didn't make the top 10!"
TOP 10 or you silly or blind !
Re: yobuddy – Can you retards READ??? Perez said that Britney didn't make the top 10! Jeez, read before commenting!!!
How the heck is Barbra making that kind of money?
Re: steph – You're an idiot.
KELLY CLARKSON,,,,,,There's got to be a mistake, she defitnetley needs to be there, and Whitney Houston ,Alanis morrisette ,this list is CRAP
What about Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana - you cannot tell me she's not in the top 20!!!
I wish I could make $8 million by acting like an asshole
madonna did nothing thsi year n°1!What?!
Re: ms wonderland –

What?!?!? They are All FEMALES!!! that shows you if you have great voice, an ass and boobs you are set to make millions!
Madonna has always been a couple of rungs higher on the pop ladder than Jackson, Carey and all the other others. She has earned it with her hard work, dedication, innovation, US and international record sales and chart hits. She has always kept her eye on her career goals. She started out with practically nothing in her pocket ($37) and has made billions of dollars. Britney can't even be mentioned in the same sentence.
jenny from the block didn't make as much as unfitney!?? well, i guess that goes to say that she's not so dumb after all.
Re: Lady K –
You're totally wrong lady K..Nelly Furtado plays about a dozen instruments and produces her own music. So shut your fucking yap .you good fer nothin.
Re: dzvn – THERE IS NOT A DAMN THING YOU CAN SAY OR DO
MADONNA IS STILL THE QUEEN OF POP , LIKE IT OR NOT
There's no way Nelly Furtado only came in at 7 mil. The girl had the BEST selling album of 2007. This shit list is way the fuck off. Fuck you Forbes. And you suck it too
Perez.
I thought Miley Cyrus might be on there…
alex is gay
Where is Miley Cyrus she must have made a ton of money off her sold out tour.
Poor Britney
. I buy her shit!
oh my god.. you all fuckers.. perez only said that britney didn't make top 10… Read it retards..
hi
Imagine how much money britney would make if she actually worked…all she does is drive around all day…she's doing pretty good!!!
She made more than JENNIFER HOPEZ, without even trying…NOW THATS MAJOR SAD. I think Hopez spent that amount just on promotions..hahahahah I'd be pissed if I was Jennifer. anyone who got beat by Britney is sad
15. Carrie Underwood - $7 million
16. Nelly Furtado - $7 million
17. Fergie - $6 million
18. Jennifer Lopez - $6 million
19. Sheryl Crow - $6 million
20. Norah Jones - $5.5 million

Hillary sucks rigth now
Avril Lavigne FAKE ! and….puaj
Britney Spears…..cool ! she sold ! really
Nelly………
Fergie…STOPPED , IS EGOUGTH
Jennifer …..OLD
Crow OLD
Norah, no for me
All that sweatin' she did last year and Beyonce come in at #5? She needs a new manager!
They sure love the dinosaurs Madonna,Streisand,Dion…
Well at least Streisand and Dion worked with dignity.Madonna….I wonder what her kids will say about the sex book?
u know what is amazing: how ppl talk about Brit and stuff but yet she is still on this list. she may not have been in the top 10 like the other years, but at least she was in top 20. she made more money than some of those artist who did stuff. so obviously she is still loved and makin her money and probably more than u Perez. i bet if she would've been ok and not sick and put out an album and promoted it and went on tour and stuff then she would've been in the top 10!!! so give her some props and stop hatin on her and leaving negative comments and leave her alone
