So,
what's the occasion?
Beyonce has
a new album coming out on Monday, giving the video all weekend to generate
interest and presumably sales.
It's really
not even a new album. It's a platinum edition of 2013's "Beyonce." A
few extra songs and a higher price tag.
Top
earning woman
Beyonce is
good at raking in the cash.
The
superstar singer has topped the Forbes list
of the top-earning women in music for the second in a row.
In the list
released earlier this month, Beyonce earned an estimated $115 million for 2014,
more than doubling 2013's $53 million, which topped last year's list.
"Beyonce
played 95 shows during our scoring period, bringing in an average $2.4 million
per city," Forbes reports. "She added endorsement deals from the
likes of H&M and Pepsi -- plus her self-titled surprise album, which hit
iTunes in December 2013 and quickly became one of the year's top sellers -- to
send her income into nine-figure territory."
Taylor Swift
came in second with $64 million in earnings. Pink ranked No. 3 with $52 million,
followed by Rihanna with $48 million and Katy Perry with $40 million.
Forbes bases
its list on calculating income from record and merchandise sales, touring,
endorsements, publishing and other ventures, without deducting for management
and/or attorney fees.
It's good to
be Queen B.
