Not a very....colorful list is it?

You expect it to be? Who buys Hip-Hop anymore? Matter of fact--who buys music period? A lot of artists in many different music genres are struggling to make record sales. The money is where it's always been--shows and performances.

Crazy how these older acts still caking. In hip hop you'll never see that unfortunately.

Nobody

Touring is a must, hence Future doing shows non stop.

This, most of that is show money. Rolling stones must've taken a year off.

The Eagles play football.

 

[kingkoopa]

 

 I literally just did a quick google.

Ones a 70's band?

The other top hit was Summer?

Nope

 

[rfx45]

Man I find that hard to believe Kay Perry really didn't do much this year.

Touring, she made about $2mil per city she visited and she toured almost year round. Same with 1D.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I was a bit surprised to see The Eagles on the list

Honestly I can't name one Fleetwood Mac song, but I know who they are

. If you haven't heard a Calvin Haris song you have to at least know he smashin T Swift.

Me too. I looked it up and they haven't released anything new since 07 or something. I didn't see anything about a tour this years so I have no idea where any of that money came from.

Bugatti Biebs going to the top next year after the tour and album

 

[servechilled81]

Damn, them cats strictly make music while Diddy is out here slangin 20 businesses just to keep up.

Katy Perry, Timberlake, Swift, Gaga all have tons of endorsements, all that ain't from music

Nope all I know about Taylor is she has an unusual amount of random fans (Russ Westbrook) and she's been around the industry block, right?

I don't follow music 

 

[stillin729]

Adele?

well yeah, Bugatti Biebs straight to #2

My boy been tellin me about the Biebs 

I cant go.

 

[stillin729]

I'm not sure which Eagles I want to see less

 

[stillin729]

My boy been tellin me about the Beibs 

I cant go.

Purpose is straight

went to a cabin with 15 peeps this weekend and everyone wanted that new Biebs on the playlists

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Bugatti Biebs going to the top next year after the tour and album

Yes, he will.

 

[trunks206]

[dman14]

cop'd a fleetwood rumours vinyl

 

[Mark Antony]

Lemme pull up Biebs on spotify and see what's good.

 

[tr1ll]

Drake?

HA!

I know, people think these rappers actually make money off records. Drake doesn't seem all that business savvy to me, he better figure it out soon cause his gimmick is going to be over.



Where's Dr Dre? I know he's up there somewhere.

Except he has deals with Sprite, Jordan Brand and most importantly Apple, and also went on tour two or three times this year...

I don't think album royalties are his main source of income.

That's still nothing compared to people going platinum in multiple countries. Sell enough albums you DO make money off sales.

Umm....hip-hop isn't the only music black, or any other person of color make. Was halfway expecting to see Beyoncé on the list. Now that I think about it, she did kinda take this year off.
