Those headphones are every where down here Atlanta.

Where's Madonna?? If this is really 2012, I think her MDNA tour is making some money

Shit dont laugh. He obviously is making bank with those instead of the sturn und drang of the cd biz.

Headphones and probably whatever Chronic CDs are still in stores right now... it actually makes sense why he's in that list.

Ranking covers income artists received from May to May ....MDNA album had low sales, so do not bring a lot of money, and the tour has already started after the score was formed.
Therefore, Madonna will appear in the rankings next year .... probably in the top 3

Off the list.

Good for Dre...but those beats headphones suck!

Those Beat headphones are $200 a pop and people actually color coordinate them with their clothes buying multiples.

......which is exactly what Dre wanted. Those headphones are better off in bedroom/basement music studios where you need to have them on out of respect to your neighbors.

Wait a minute are yall talking about these?

Because if so they exactly are kinda cute

Id get the purple ones BUT I be damn if I pay $200 for them Thats kinda steep for some headphones that look like it took only 50 dollars to make.

I have seen a couple of folks down here with them, I wasnt sure what the headphones looked like at first.

I'm confused. Dre's phones anything BUT flat response.

Here in L.A i see dozens of people dialy with the beats phones... and when i go to the gym i see the commercial for them on T.V....

He gettin that paper

Didn't GaGa do beats with Dre or something like that to?

Doesn't Dre also get a piece of both Em and 50?

I don't know about 50 but Eminem still sells records so yeah...

Those beats headphones are even in cars, and even in Andriod phones.

Dre is smart as a mofo.

Dammit why can't I make up something and get rich off it!!

That's them. $200.00!!! There are earbuds as well for a slightly lower price.

It's those blasted headphones - they're everywhere here in London.

I still doubt those figures though...
