[Bitter 3,640]

[mister max 18,480]

[mister max 18,480]

#17 looks pretty flop tho.

[Bitter 3,640]

​she is still in the list 

What an achievement 

​she had a brand new pop album, a jazz one and a ww tour. Flop spot 

[Whispering 18,865]

Seriously, this is a mess.

Only 10% of the artRAVE gross... wtf???

Edit: never mind, I see it is for US only now :)

[Whispering 18,865]

What an achievement 

​she had a brand new pop album, a jazz one and a ww tour. Flop spot 

Her pop album and two pop singles came out in 2013. 

She did have the tour, but the numbers are for the US only.

Her pop album and two pop singles came out in 2013. 

She did have the tour, but for some reason, they aren't using the 30 per cent calculation for her total. 

​the number is only for the US gross.

[Der Meister 3,000]

Why do fans care about how much money she is making?? Aren't we supposed to care about the music? 

The fanbases are so wrong nowadays. So wrong.

"omg my artists made x millions last year, she is the kwen. and yours sucks cuz she only made x amount of millions. ew. she is so ovah."

[Whispering 18,865]

​the number is only for the US gross.

Yep, just saw that....so, her ranking and numbers will go up when the worldwide numbers are calculated. Obviously, some of these artists are mostly US artists and don't do as well as Gaga does on a worldwide scale.

You are such a drama queens  3 pages of meltdowns when it is obviously US only for gods shake this is billboard we are talking about  

[LoveandMagic 1,731]

Congratulations to her  

I'm really not surprised at the Top 3 at all, One Direction & Katy Perry & Justin Timberlake all had humungous tours going on through 2014  

Taylor Swift landing at #15 with no touring  I can't imagine where she'll be when she goes on The 1989 World Tour  

​I can't even fathom the numbers that Taylor will bring in, 1989 has been so massively huge for her!

I don't know about the other tours but I keep hearing that Katy's tour was AMAZING! I'm not big into Perry but I so would have loved to go (and to ArtRave). I love most of her costumes and the color schemes. And while I hadn't heard much about J.T., he must still be going really strong to be top 3.

The thing with these big superstars is you think, "how are they POSSIBLY going to top themselves?" but they all do!! I'm hoping Gaga's new team works the same!

Anyway, I am so happy that Gaga is still doing so well. I know that last blackout hurt, ARTPOP was a messy era, but I am so glad the tour went well and am so thankfully for Tony and Cheek to Cheek.

I can't wait for her next solo project/tour though!

[Whispering 18,865]

​ohh obviously do you not know how tours work , they have to pay off the stage , the lighting elements all of that , the producers get royalties every show , the writer gets paid , the venue gets paid , and the dancers get paid , and the band gets paid , sooo

Billboard knows how tours work. They took around 30 per cent of her U.S. Earnings to come up with the tour earnings. The total will be higher when other publications look at worldwide totals, and not just the U.S. Tour gross. 

[Yanko 9,860]

nnn 13 million isnt bad 

 

wait till forbes they will report ww numbers for artrave 

[Ray of Light 8,134]

The woman just bought a $20 million mansion & is about to get married. She's doing FINE & the fact that her net worth is double than most of the people's above her in the list is yet another kiiii.

After a "flop" era, a considerably smaller tour (in order to fully recover her hip & not extend the damage) and an album solely of jazz classic covers - her rank is amazing. 

[Supersonic 49,376]

It's kind of disturbing how they release a figure of what she supposedly has earned in a year tho. They don't have the private access to Gaga's bank account, so why do they publish this sh*t? I don't get it. They have no idea about what she actually made in 2014. My mother told me that if you have no idea what you're talking about, you should rather shut the f*ck up.
Also, why do y'all even care about how much money she made? I'm 100% she doesn't even care about it herself. She probably doesn't even know what she made because there's like bits and pieces of royalities and other stuff flying into her bank account every year.
