According to the Billboard Money Makers chart, U2 made more money than anyone else in the music industry in the US last year. The band apparently took $225million in album and digital sales as well as box office receipts. Crikey. Hope Bono's planning to give some of that away to the African kids.
Anyway, other groups showing up at the top of the list were The Rolling Stones in second place with a grand total of $152million, country star Kenny Chesney in third with $88million, and Paul McCartney in fourth with $84million. Which just shows you that country music and dad rock is the way forward if you want to make some cash.
