This is really interesting (to me, anyway). This is Billboard's calculation of the top money-earners of 2009. That means what the artist took home. This isn't the top grosses, sales or whatever. It's what the artist actually banked in their own account (at least, an educated guess on what they banked).

I wonder if Prince should really be on this list?

And kudos to THE BOSS - Number 2, baby! Bruce made $57 million last year. Awesome!
