Forbes Top Money Earners 2006



Forbes has released their list of the top money earners in music in 2006.

01. The Rolling Stones ($150.6 million)
02. Tim McGraw / Faith Hill ($132 million)
03. Rascal Flatts ($110.5 million)
04. Madonna ($96.8 million)
05. Barbra Streisand (95.8 million)
06. Kenny Chesney ($90.1 million)
07. Celine Dion ($85.2 million)
08. Bon Jovi ($77.5 million)
09. Nickelback ($74.1 million)
10. Dave Matthews Band ($60.4 million)

I did not buy anything from any of these bands this year. The only one I even LISTENED to was the Stones and that was a albums released nearly 40 years ago. This list has brought the following questions to my kojak/moby head:

Am I that out of touch with the rest of America?

How can a band that sucks as powerfully as Nickelback make nearly 100 mil?

Do people really listen to this crap?

and finally...
DO PEOPLE REALLY LISTEN TO THIS CRAP
