U2 has scored the top spot for music profit rankings.  Billboard reports U2 easily topped the money makers in the US with $109 million from touring, record sales, and other souvenir products.  U2 doubled what Springsteen and Madonna made combined.  Rounding out the top 4, Bruce Springsteen $58 million, Madonna at $47 million, and AC/DC at $44 million.

Interesting though their current album, No Line on the Horizon, produced no interesting hits.  Imagine how much more U2 could have made with a few chart toppers.  However, it's no surprise that U2 made it to number one. They toured endlessly, traveling around the world to promote their music. The band, which has been around since the late seventies, has dedicated fans across generations.

U2's 360 Degree tour was the most expensive ever staged. However, the investment was worth it. Millions of fans showed up to support the extravagant show.  U2 is is taking a break between their winter tour, which ended in London in late January, and their summer, which begins in June in Utah.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Britney Spears, Pink, Jonas Brothers, Coldplay, Kenny Chesney, and Metallica.
