After being crowned the Favorite Female Artist in the Soul/R&B section, the Queen Bey has also topped the Forbes list of highest paid women in the music industry.
The AMA victory might have been only for Americans but it cannot be denied that her Lemonade album dominated charts world over. The album made a sum of 105 million dollars and beat Adele’s 25 which though released in 2015, still made 69 million dollars.
In third place is Taylor Swift who only just released a new album, reputation, and had raked a total of 44 million this year, but the pop star had topped Forbes list last year earning 170 million dollars.
The list compiled by Forbes has always been a standard setter as it is based on interviews with the stars themselves, their agents, lawyers, managers and also from pre-tax estimations.
Beyonce also shook the music world with the most popular track from her album, Formation.
I love Queen Bey. She does good with her money too donating to charity, giving scholarships to black women and empowering women not just with her music but also in practical terms as well. If I could afford it I’ll fly to the US just to be at her concert. Beyoncé rocks.
One QUEEN to rule them all – *parodying Lord of the Rings*
Ha, Lord of the Rings. I read that book and watch the movies too. I hear it’s being developed into a Tv series by Netflix. Can’t wait.
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
-JRR Tolkien (Fellowship of the Ring)
Looks like I’m going to find this book to read. Sounds cool.
It’s beyond cool as cool is a massive understatement. It comes in three different volumes. Google it or check it out on Amazon. I have the three volumes and I never lend it to anyone.
No surprises here. I love Beyoncé. By the way that’s the correct way to write her name, Sidomex take note.
