Newcomer Adele made a strong appearance in the top 10, pulling in $18 million at the number 9 spot. But it’s Lady Gaga who killed them all with $90 million in earnings. The second-highest earner, Taylor Swift “only” brought in half of that, while Katy Perry was right behind her with $44 million in the number three spot.
