Lady Gaga has beaten Beyoncé to top this year's Most Powerful Musicians list complied by Forbes.
The list is based on earnings, social media and press mentions and despite cutting her Born This Way Ball tour short due to a hip injury, Lady G still managed to pocket over $168 million.
She is also one of the most followed people on Twitter with over
38.5million fans, while on Facebook, Gaga has more than 57.9million
likes.
Beyoncé finished at No.2 on the list after earning over $2million for every Mrs Carter Show tour date, with her Pepsi and H&M sponsorship deals contributing to her wealth.
Queen of Pop Madonna was in third place - thanks to her MDNA Tour making over $305million - with Taylor Swift and Bon Jovi completing the top five.
Justin Bieber and Katy Perry also feature on the list, with Coldplay being the only British musicians to appear in the top ten.
In Forbes' overall Power Celebrities list, Oprah Winfrey regained the top spot after raking in a cool £50.5 million last year to contribute to her £1.75billion wealth.
Despite her huge success, Adele fell
out of the Forbes 100 list, with a spokesperson for the magazine
explaining: "Adele didn’t tour. Tours are now the main source of income
for musicians."
