  7. The lists is not reliable at all

    The list fake. This isn’t from a highly accurate publisher. I mean “New York Daily News”? Sorry Ayumi fans.

    No one can convince me that Whitney Houston has only made $120,000,000! I don’t know if who ever made up this list realizes that Whitney has toured this world countless times. “I will always love you,” alone has got to have made $120,000,000 in two years of touring! Someone needs to check their facts, it’s just not correct!

    @janice murphy yeah ur right.. a living legend should be high on that list .. but also christina aguilera ,, i mean she gets up to 50 mil per tour .. and she had lots of tours, with the cd celling .. i think she’s higher ..

    Madonna, Jennifer and Britney are in the list because they are sluts, not singers with powerful voice and many of people love sluts!!

    Miely is in the list because many of people don’t know anything about music!!

    Shakira is in the list because of her sexy clips and dance not because of her voice!!

    unfortunately a little of people know about music and that’s why a slut such as lady gaga becomes famous!!

    September 20, 2011 at 2:21 pm

    • why do you comment so much since you never make it to the list.. stop jealous of them!!!

      September 23, 2011 at 1:40 pm

  18. WHERE’S GAGA?? Gaga should make it to the top 5 list…

    September 23, 2011 at 1:30 pm

    • france
