8 million dollars is a shitload of money for not doing anything all year and releasing an album in LATE october…compared to many of the rest who have had albums and such out all year. don't be an idiot, perez.
TO ALL THE MORONS THAT ARE SAYING(CAN YOU READ PEREZ SAID THE TOP 10)IF YOU WOULD OF LOGGED IN EARLIER IT SAID TOP 20 SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU IDIOTS.DAM PEREZ SOME OF YOUR STUPIDITY IS RUBBING OF ON SOME OF THESE IDIOTS.
Madonna is thinking "I hope my body holds out as long as Babs voice has"…
…good luck on THAT girl!!!!!
no rihanna?
Where is miley cyrus? With hannah montana mania i thought she would be up there!
You stupid retards! He said Britney didn't make the TOP TEN. And learn how to spell while you're at it. Jesus Christ…
Go Madonna! Go Madge! Go Maddy! Go Nonnie! Go Go Go!!! woo hoo!!! Madonna didn't even release an album this year right?
wtf!
avril aND hilary are before brittney

HOLY SHIT!!!!SHAKIRA LOOKS SO HOT IN THAT PIC!!!!! MWAHHHH,LOVE HER!SHE'S SOOOOOOO HHHHHHOTTTTTT!!!!!!!
How's that Britt made #14 and JLo #18???? I guess Jlo's album was not a success…well I didn't buy it! lol
Go Madonna!! She RULES it … heh
So pray tell PEREZ what's so surprising about that list. None of your LOSER FRIENDS on the list, is that it? AH shame, perhaps you should try even more hype on HERPES HILTON—she clearly has no future in the endorsement market. HP PERFUME ON SALE AT 60% DISCOUNT at AMAZON.COM
hilary is on the list. wow. just luv her.
it's such a shame that I didn't attend to her show here in Brazil. =/
Losers who keep writing first first first so fucking annoying, say something with it at least, so wtf you are the first to post something, well the rest of us only occasionally check shit unlike you we have a life so take this bitches….LAST
wheres miley cyrus?
SHAKIRA MADE TOP 4 BECAUSE SHE HAD THE TOP 3 BEST SELLING TOUR OF 2006-7. SHE HAD 140 DATES AND 95% OF THEM SOLD OUT!!! SHAKIRA ROCKS!
LOL HOW DOES IT GO FROM MADONNA TO NORAH JONES WHEN THOSE NORAH JONES COME INTO THE PICTURE..LOL ANYWAYS PRETTY IMORESIVE..
ARE YOU KIDDING????? CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S TOUR MADE OVER 45MILLION ACCORDING TO BILLBOARD!!! MUCH MORE THAN BEYONCE. IN FACT SHE HAD THE BIGGEST FEMALE TOUR OF THE YEAR LAST YEAR! PLUS IN MY OPIONION CHRISTINA DESERVES IT MUCH MORE THAN MOST OF THESE TALENTLESS HO'S…..
What Li-lo did not make the list?
All are OVERRATED(they suck). This is why I support indie artists.
what about whitney houston??
Re: costamesaboy – who cares what you think…she has 72million and your commenting on perezhilton…LOL
Tori Amos didn't make the list?
how the hell are some of these women considered musicians??!!!! disturbing. half of them don't even write their own material!!!!
Shakira has sold 12 million copies since 2005 with Fijacion oral V.1 and Oral Fixation V.2 ….(around 2.7 million in USA)…………. she did a 140 show World Tour that was Sold Out everywhere she went! the tour probably gross around $150 million………overall she has made around $70 million with her music alone since 2005….thats AMAZING!!
Madonna… lets not even talk about her shes just queen of Everything!!!
NEXT YEAR I EXPECT ALICIA KEYS TO BE IN THE TOP!!
where's Toni Braxton???
Britney #14 Lookin Good
That any of those fucking talentless cunts should have a dime more than Norah Jones is a tragedy. The world's taste is in its ass. Mandonna has a small cock, but not smaller than our favorite pre-op tranny, Furrgie. Pigs - the lot of them.
still heart perez.
Go Madonna! Still the Queen of Pop after all this time… Hopefully she will do more in Africa with her $$$
how did britney do nothing all year and earn more than Fergie who both toured and had hits???????????????????
Britney made more than Carrie underwood and JLo?????
WTF????
Where's ALICIA KEYS?????????
Re: shellnyc – it MUST suck to be you , full of jealousy and hatred
Madonna Rules!!!!!!!! like it or not
Yay, Christina made $20 mil. I am so glad that she is on top of britney both musically and mentally. Go Christina!
I'm surprised there is no Miley Cyrus on this list.
Re: Kid17 – madonna hasn't made a pimple on the ass of the music universe in 20 fucking years, nevermind contributing an actual original sound. check back in when you hit puberty, KID.
GIRL POWER SWEETHEART THATS MAJOR!!!!!!!
Madonne is truly incredible…to top this list without having a major release OR tour IN 2007 is amazing…her recent contract with Live Nation is ot even included in this figure, will be counted thisyear so expect her to top this list again coupled with the figures from her rumoured tour this year and new album !!……SHE IS TRULY A LIVING LEGEND!
cunts
wat about miley cyrus??????????? her concert was smexii
wheres CHER on this list
Shakira made it way on top. Congrats to her she deserves it. The Queen of Latin America SHAKIRA SHAKIRA!!!!
Rhiana anyone?……
Madonna made 72 million?????? Doing WHAT??????? What a crock of sh!t …
Seriously, Where's Rihanna?
Nelly Furtado is the best. I love her.
Nelly Furtado is my favorite Portuguese Queen.
I love Nelly Furtado.
Re: jerome –
Jerome..You are correct. Nelly Furtado had the best selling album of 2007. Something's amiss here.
The media made more off britney than she mad in her work lol… god bless america!!
Re: ben – THATS WHAT IM SAYIN i love her! - well i knew she wouldnt make the list but she still deserves props!
Where is Rihanna?
How did Jennifer Lowlife make a dime?
Nobody bought her CDs. Nobody watched her dreadful films.
Don't tell me people bought her skanky perfume or clothes! Are there really that many people will no taste out there?
No Brit may of not made the top 10 you dummies but she still made 8 mil in a year that she never had an album out or a major tour…..how much did you all make last year???
Hilary Duff the best! avril Sucks! XD
Madonna and Barbra both charged over $300 for a ticket, that's why they are on top. Mariah only charged about $130 for the floor and lower level and didn't do that many shows and only sold out about half of them.

carrie underwood is in therE?
BUT NOT KELLY CLARKSON?
wtfff… thats a surprise.
but YAY FOR HILARY! YOUNGEST PERSON IN THERe, followed by Avril right behind her!
atleast brit is better than carrie…
amy winehouse?
Shakira is on the list because of her huge soldout world tour, which included mainly stadiums in Latin America. In Chile the most expensive Shakira tickets where around $400.
britney still sold 84 million albums, and only artist to sell 5 number 1 albums in a row
christina is in the top ten yujuuuu putas
MADONNA!!!
She rocks it!!!
She earned $72 million in one year, thats brilliant, so shes now gotta be worth $500 million!!!!!!!!! MINIMUM!!!
Go girl!!!!!
Where's jessica simpson??
how the fcuk is amy winehouse not on this list?????? i know she had a rough year, but she had one of the biggest albums this past year?? hmmm i'd like a recount…norah jones…hmmm thats a throwback jam…didn't know she still existed….
Mariah released nothing in 2007, shows that she is talented. Why are Fergie and Nelly so low? Oh and where the fuck is Rihanna?! Ok, so Britney might not have made as much as some of them, so what if she didn't make the top 10 - SHE FUCKIN MADE 8 MILLION DOLLARS BY DOING NOTHING!
Shakira deserves that spot with over 140 tour dates SOLD OUT worldwide I'm not surpirsedger tour gross over 150 million on just the tour. Not counting her album sales. Thats a great accomplishment for her at her age.
LONG LIVE MADONNA THE QUEEN!
She must be worth about a billion dollars now!
Re: Newton – Um…Madonna didn't tour in 2007 jack ass. She toured in the summer of 2006, so those figures aren't included. Face it, she is the queen and will continue to sell music-old and new.
"GOD"… I hate to do this, but you ugly losers just drive me CRAZY…
Fact 1: List is complied June/July 2006-June/July 2007.
(Madonna's gross net of THE TOUR is included, as is H&M collaboration etc.
Although to be honest she has earned more than 72 million dollars, it is strange that they show this but I don't care about argumenting).
Fact 2: To all you bitches, including Madonna fans… please you idiots should know that CONFESSIONS ON A DANCEFLOOR has sold MORE than 12 MILLION copies, and shipped MORE than 13 million… this is the FINAL sale, no other sale are factual so please stoooooop, dudes.
Fact 3: Isn't it somewhat strange that the losers "Mariah lambs/fans" have piped down their ugly mouths when seeing FACTS pured out?… otherwise they're happy enough to talk bad about Madonna…
I am not part of the fans foolish war, I love Mariah Carey but I'm realistic.
Fact 4: Madonna is THE musician, plays several instruments incl. electric guitar. Check your facts you meaningless no-bodies.
Listen you fools, I am a REALIST.
Ok, now that I have CLEARED (objectively of course, because your little opinions are totally WORTHLESS, ahaha.. it's sad right?) everything… I'm off.
Gotta date tonight with a HOT chick… for real.
And I even had to take time off for this one…
Mm, girl has got an athletic body… can't wait to take her panties off ahhhah.
You ain't Mr. Popular for nothing, ehheh
Bye Bye…
To all of the MORONS who always talk shit about Madonna….what do you have to say now? How are you gonna try to downplay this? Aren't you even more jealous of her now? Until you can make as much money as she has,your negative opinions don't mean shit.
Britney didn't make the top 10 BUT JENNİFER LOPEZ didn't make the top 10
Wow Madonna Keepes Making It Big Keep It Up Girl
wow only 8 million in 2007.. she must be hard up for cash..
fuck life must be so fuckign easy for these stupid bitches..
can't help but notice Paris HIlton isn't on there.. nor hannah montannah.. nor any of those other teeny boppers.. must be nice to make even .02 million let alone 72 what the hell do you do with that much money.. fack I'd be happy with $20,000. I should have been a singer
I can totally agree with most of the list except for a few: Shakira? Hilary Duff? Sheryl Crow? Zitney will blow through that 8 million on K Fed's lawyer bills alone. She'll be back in the trailer park sooner than we think! Praise!
yo queria que britney este primera
8 nada mas ? que triste.
pobre brit..
y porque madonna tanto? si britney era la princesa del pop !
britney we are with you!!
Re: me – Re: me – dumb ass - beyonce is in the top ten
what's so surprising about shakira at #4 to some people…she did have a very succesful world wide tour and good album sales!!! congrats to all of them.
I'll be happy with 1 million…lol
