Lady Gaga tops Billboard's money makersLady Gaga continues to rack up the distinctions. The entertainer will top the charts in the upcoming "Money Makers Issue" from Billboard. The magazine looked at the acts who generated the most income in 2010. According to the publication, Gaga made $30,556,342 followed by Bon Jovi, Roger Waters, Dave Matthews Band and Justin Bieber. "The pop singer, only a few years removed from her original hair color and shows at small downtown New York venues, so thoroughly dominated the last year that it seemed almost a foregone conclusion that she would top the Money Makers list," Billboard said. "There was her tour, which grossed $70.4 million and netted her about $23.8 million. " And that's not all. "Then there were the eye-popping sales of her music, helped by buzz-generating videos for 'Telephone' and 'Alejandro,'" Billboard also said. "Gaga moved nearly 12 million digital tracks in 2010, along with 2.6 million units of 2008 album 'The Fame' and 2009 follow-up 'The Fame Monster,' of which 554,000 were digital downloads. All of those sales at retail netted her more than $5.7 million in royalties." Billboard pointed out that in years past the Money Makers rankings were based on U.S. recorded-music sales, other U.S. revenue sources and worldwide touring data. For consistency's sake, this year’s list is based solely on U.S. earnings which is which explains why some acts like U2, AC/DC and Metallica, which spent much of 2010 touring international markets, aren’t included in this year's ranking.

I find it so funny that the negative posters of Gaga are not on any money making, generating lists themselves. She clearly must have some talent and ability in orger to make the kind of money she does. No matter what you think of her looks etc... She generates cash flow. Give her credit for that will ya...
FYI, next time you watch Brittney, or Christina sing, see if they write their own music, play an instrument or what have you. Have you ever seen Gaga on the piano? Listen to her then judge. I'm a Little Monster!!!!
More meat dress.
lady caca packs whole rumproasts in her brownknot and slowcooks them.
I'm sure if she started dressing normal and fix herself up she won't come off as being so strange and ugly like some people say. Seriously who wears meat and think they look and smells good in it?
Her philosophy is "I'd rather look interesting than pretty." There's a carefully designed reason behind every ensemble & makeup style she wears, and it almost always involves a commentary about pop culture. That you can't see them is poor eyesight. And as far as the ridicule, "You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same." She's right. On both counts.
That's one funny lookin dude
Man... the things people would rather have than money...
Her face looks like a lady's private parts.
She is so ugly she made me barf my cheerios.
I'm sure thats the reaction people have to your face all the time.
