Really?

Forbes posted a list of the top 30 highest paid musicians last year. I don't listen to pop music but I know most of the names. There were some though, that I'd never heard of. And, there were quite a few that surprised the hell out of me! Guns N Roses?? I like Jimmy Buffett but I wouldn't have guessed he'd make the list. Same for the Eagles! Anyway, it was a fun list and you know I like lists :-)

29. Billy Joel $43.5 million
28. The Chainsmokers $45.5 million
27. Garth Brooks $45.5 million
