Wow, another list where Mariah is way behind Madonna…..kinda like the Sales chart.
I guess you don't make much after you pay all those DJ's to play your records.
Where is Mary J. Blige?
madonna signed that new huge deal .. barbara can you believe she is still earning megabucks .. you want the original diva bitches check barbara .. be interesting to see who made 'net' rather than 'gross' .. hillary tours her hole out .. avril should tour she would triple that little $14m .. sharkira rules latinaland .. oh britney, can you have the world's most massive meltown and still pull $8m .. how that fuck does this business work ?
Urgh..Paris, I just don't understand why my hair always ends up a mess?! What is your secret?
The forgot to put my name…. in my checking account…$2.42 The truth and nothing but the truth!!
Mariah didn't do anything last year!!!!!!!! Go Mariah!!!
WELL DUH MAN! Look at everyone on that list. Huge performers.. huge voices. Whether you like them or not, it's the truth. Every single one of them are TALENTED and UNIQUE. Britney is a big joke.. literally.. BIG joke. Thank god Carrie Underwood didn't make the list. That little twit isn't original, and the stupid twat can't stay in her OWN CATEGORY.
you need to go to man school and learn how to get a pair
Re: he he he – She can't sing you dumbfuck. She has no voice.. that list is saved for REAL TALENT.
YOU STUPID FUCKS!!!!
NONE OF THE FOOLS THAT POSTED FIRST WERE ACTUALLY FIRST!
QUIT MAKING YOURSELF LOOK SO STUIPID.
LEAVE A COMMENT WORTH READING!!!!!
NO ONE CARES IF YOUR FIRST…..AND YOU NEVER ARE!!!!!
I'm surprised BETTE MIDLER didn't make the list considering her Vegas show starts soon and most shows are sold out….

I FUCKING LOVE SHERYL CROW!!!
thats all.
It's too bad for Mariah that Forbes don't take checks, or else she would've been number 1.
i can't believe shakira was 4th.. hm. and avril lavigne 12th. damn
Madonna has a clothing line, The Confessions DVD and her back catalog that still sells. That's why she is number 1.
I guess Mariah's Butterfly fart perfume didn't move too much.
BURRRRRRN!!! haters MADONNA is the Queen!!! eventhough she didn't realese anything major in 2007 she (unsurprisingly) is number ONE!!!! way the go!!, just wait and see what's she's gonna in 2008!!!!
Re: LickMyNutz – .. idiot .. queen of popular music .. where the fuck did that ye ole english come from .. sounds like madonna's british accent .. you're not cool enough to advocate madonna .. fuck right off .. you're probably 17 years old .. fuck off .. let us who remember seeing madonna for the first time in 198fucking3 be her adorned ones .. little bitches piss me off .. madonna sang about sluts like you way before your poppa popped your mama .. you want the brand new thing .. check OPERATOR PLEASE
hahah yeaj but tha is because britney did not realesed any new material till the end of 2007
NO KYLIE MINOGUE
Perez…you're a moron. her cd just came out…and she didn't do any large tours. Most of the income these singers get, is from advertizement/tours. Britney's cd just came out. I'd say number 14 considering all things is pretty good.
where the hells rihanna?
Re: cathy – oh yeah Britney is STILL doing well , her last performance
at VMA BOMBED , she had about 2 BREAK DOWNS and her career is pretty much just
sleeping around with any random paparazzi ,going to Starbucks , neclecting her own children and all she does is SHOW THE WORLD that she is the ULTIMATE LUNATIC POP STAR , yes she is DOING GREAT!!!!!!!! ……………..NOT
also I think not even one show on television is even inviting her to promote her new album and I'm sure the next time she tours (if you can call that a tour ) will be just a TOTAL FLOP ,YEAHHHHHH GO AWAY BRITNEY !!!!!!!!
Re: yay – Just like your mom Shakira makes her money south of the border !
LOL.. hilary duff almost made the top 10, and she an acter.make 1mil more nextst year hil. Go HIL.!… madonna is still on the top, hate her. she is too old. and fergie only 6mil? hilary made dobbel of that!
it is astrenge world we live in…
Re: lauren – I'm fucking GLAD she's not on the list.
shouldn't be much of a shock? Black-out sold less than 3/4 of a million copies in the US. Compare with "In the Zone" which sold over 3 million? she isn't touring. she isn't doing paid promotional events. this is no surprise at all. you have to -work- to earn the big money and she's been sitting on her fat ass for years now.
what! fergie deserves to be making more than most of these heffers
i am not that shocked that brit didnt make the top 10, but i am stunned that she made more than fergie and j lo, didnt she just tour??
Re: j – you meant last year ???? in case you were under the rocks , it is now 2008 , and hey why so shocked M is still a bankable star , people are just having too much difficulty to accept the truth
Madonna Rocks !!!!!!!!!!
He said that Brit didn't make the Top 10, which is correct. She is #14.
has shakira had a boob job?
Re: hotspicydancer – ass-h shakira is famous ALL OVER THE WORLD not here where people like you cant hear anything beyond stupid talentless bitches
Re: ms wonderland –
Madonna's last attempt (COADF) "only" sold more than 8.000.000 worldwide and her last tour was B I G… that's why!!!
no mary j. blige and alicia keys…that's disappointing
MADONNA comes first bitches
If Brit can get her shit together and go on tour then she will be back in the top 10.
Mariah Sucks !!! Fat bitch didn't deserve anything. Madonna kicked her ass.
Re: Linn – how old are you????? lol you can't spell , you can't type wtf?
DUMBASS !!!! you are an embarrassment , and yeah Madonna may be turning 50 but at least she is TALENTED , BEAUTIFUL ,SMART AND YES FILTHY RICH UNLIKE YOU LINN
you still live with your uneducated parents(it shows) and your future , actually you have NONE !!!! if you will have a future it would actually be
" want fries with that? " at Mc Donalds LMFAO
Madonna is a WORLDWIDE appealing artist so no wonder she is number1
Where's Hanna Montana?
dam cant believe madonna got the #1 with more money
no hannah montana?
wow
I BET BRITNEY MADE U GROSS MORE THAN 10 MILLIONS U FUGLY PEREZ
CARRIE SHOULVE BEEN HIGHER!!!!
If Madonna had thrown in a tour for the year she would have made well over $100 Mill. You can say what you want about her being old, washed up, skank, old hag, etc. etc. but the fact is she still remains on top and millions upon millions can't wait for new music from her. I think it's cool an almost 50 year old woman can pull this off. Yeah!!
yay for the dixie chicks!
Charity for me? Pleeeease I've been so good this year…
Re: HATEPEREZ – then why do you post here??? if you hate Perez FUCKTARD !!!!!!!!
Madonna signed a new deal and went on tour.
Celine gets Vegas money and released an album.
Barbra did a huge tour.
Shakira..fuck only knows…
Beyonce - i'd have thought she'd earn more than that seeing as she endorses the world and its sister.
Christina - that's bullshit. There's no way she made that much.
Mariah - thats JUST off back catalogue. mariah hasn't released anything for 3 years so that's pretty impressive.
Miley Cirus should be on there, I agree.
and what's the reason why these top 10 can't do more for brad pitt's new orleans project? Are they that tight with the purse strings? It's kind of pathetic when you have middle america trying to clean up the mess over there with contributions when anyone on this list could clean up that mess in a heartbeat !
Re: GIVE ME MARIAH! – THE TITLE OF HER FIRST SINGLE IS CALLED
I'M A BIG FAT WHORE !!!!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY PIG IDOL MARIAH CAREY !!!!!!!
WHERE IS RIHANNA???
he said she didn't make the top 10 you idiots!!!!!! AHHHH.
Madonna is just great. She deserves the first place!! Go Madonna, you're still the queen of pop, no matter if you're 30, 40, 50 or 60. she's always fresh
David from Barcelona.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH…. MADONNA fuck you all ;O))))))))))))))
SHE IS THE BIGGEST STAR IN THE UNIVERSE, right now as we speak….. remember ?
YEEEES YEEEES YEEEES !!!
Re: damein – no you SHUT THE FUCK UP , I'm glad to know that Madonna's fans are all different ages , it's good to know that she has a lot of young followers too ,not old and tired like yourself BITCH !!!!
Re: Jennifer – WHO????????????????????
Re: linZ – SLUTS like her don't count
Beyonce's the only sister on the list..You go girl!!
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF POP MADONNA
Re: ms wonderland – umm. I hate to break it to you but Confessions on a Dance Floor was not a flop. It debuted at #1 in 29 countries and produced several #1s. The Confessions Tour is the most successful tour by a female artist ever. So to say COADF was a flop is highly ignorant and non factual.
MADONNA IS THE QUEEN. MARIAH FAT PIG MADE EVEN LESS THAN XTINA.
GO BARBRA JOAN STREISAND!
WE LOVE YOU! HELLO GORGEOUS! THE CD WAS LIKE BUTTAH!
LIKE BUTTAH!
Madonna didnt even have a major release in 2007 & shes #1
Where's Miley Cirus????
My, I LOVE THIS!!!! SUCK IT TWIT TARDS!!!! Where are all her ravenous supporters now? Trying to say this is all bullshit? This list made my day! So much for the biggest artist bullshit!
!
Re: costamesaboy – shut the fuck up stupid gutter rat.. if it weren't for MADONNA>. many if not all of thse Ho's would not exist. she paved teh way and as you can see STILL GOING STRONG>> PUTA

Re: lauren – BECAUSE MYLIE IS A NO TALENT TEENAGE JEZEBELL OWNED & CONTROLLED BY DISNEY! THE MOUSE MAKES WAY MORE THAN THAT SKANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ms. wonderland: madonna's last attempt totally flopped? if you consider 7 million albums is a flop, i guess it did. the concert tour also took in more than any other - $250 million. what's your definition of "flop"?
Re: Candace – BECAUSE MYLIE IS A NO TALENT TEENAGE JEZEBELLE OWNED & CONTROLLED BY DISNEY! THE MOUSE MAKES WAY MORE THAN HER!!!!!!!!!
BEYONCE!!
Your so stupid Perez, all those artists made the list because they have had concerts that support their CD, Britney hasn't done any publicity here or around the world, she hasn't done a concert and she still made the top 20.
where the hell is kelly clarkson and why is brit so low in the list
Hilary Duff is a whore.
MADONNA ALL THE WAY
i don't think its possible that RHIANNA did not make this list! bitch comes out with a new song every week
GO MADONNA!
Shakira!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW Mariah Carey did really well!!!!!!! She didn't have a CD out since 2005, her DVD didn't come out till around this Christmas, even her perfume M didn't come out till after August, that is wonderful that she was able to make that much money when she didn't really have anything before the June cut off date. CONGRATS!! Go girl!!!!!!!
Re: sam –
Preach it!! I can't believe how retarded some people are and I don't even LIKE Britney.
nelly furtado should be way higher, right?
yay hilarys in the list
