Beyonce Beats Rihanna In Forbes' 2011 Top 10 Earning Women In Music List
Beyonce has trumped Rihanna for a higher position on Forbes' 2011 list of top earning women in music. The 'Countdown' singer is the fourth top earning female musician of the year, pocketing $35million in the last year alone. Bey was quiet for the first half of the year, but embarked on a worldwide promotional tour for latest album 4 which included a performance at the Glastonbury festival in June. RiRi trails just behind Bey to come in fifth place with an earning of $29million. The news may come as a shock to fans who bought Rihanna's sixth album Talk That Talk and paid for tickets to see her perform on 'Loud' tour. Also making the list is Alicia Keys who shares the number ten position with Britney Spears, earning $10million each.
