Stones top US pop rich list

The Rolling Stones have topped Forbes' US music rich list for a second year, earning $138.5 million from their A Bigger Bang Tour, ahead of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

The Rolling Stones have topped the US music rich list for the second year running, having taken a sweet $138.5 million between them from their record breaking A Bigger Bang Tour. Forbes magazine, who compile the list, reckons that the band's total earnings were $150.6 million last year.

That puts them ahead of second placed Tim McGraw and Faith Hill who between them raked in $132 million, Rascal Flatts who took in $100.5 million and Madonna who earned $96.8 million - though when I last looked there's only one of Madonna, so basic maths (sorry, math, this is an American story) tells me she's actually the highest earner.
