Here’s the the Top Twelve highest earning singer/musician list for the period spanning from June 2008 to June 2009:

1. Madonna: $110 million
2. Celine Dion: $100 million
3. Beyonce Knowles: $87 million
4. Bruce Springsteen: $70 million

I expect that the year-end totals will be substantially different, since it'll take into account the summer touring season, which the above list does not. Still, it's pretty interesting that the same names keep popping up year and year.
