Forbes Top 100

I SHOULD BE ON THE LIST: Lady Gaga is the top-ranked music figure on Forbes' newly published Celebrity 100, finishing #2 in the overall list (behind Oprah). Gaga's $80m in pay is less than some who came in beneath her on the list, but her sky-high #3 "social rank" helped propel her to a silver medal. The editors also note that had a hip injury not cut her Born This Way Ball tour short, it would likely have grossed more than $200m (as it was, it pulled in $168m). Other ranking criteria include money rank, TV/radio, press and marketability. Five other music artists made the Top 10: Beyonce (#4; $53m; #5 social), Madonna (#5; $125m; #22 social), Taylor Swift (#6; $55m; #7 social), Bon Jovi (#7; $79m; #17 social) and Justin Bieber (#9; $58m; #1 social). Other artists and music-biz folks who ranked: J. Lo (#12), Rihanna (#13), Coldplay (#14), Simon Cowell (#17), Katy Perry (#18), Ryan Seacrest (#26), Jay-Z (#32), Toby Keith (#43), Carrie Underwood (#46), Kenny Chesney (#47), Kanye West (#59), Dr. Dre (#63), Calvin Harris (#68) and David Guetta (#74).
