Luke Bryan is one of the top acts around, especially in record sales, nabbing him $23.1 million.
Jerry Garcia may be long dead, but legendary rock group The Grateful Dead cashed in with their Fare Thee Well final reunion tour, with a total $23.8 million.
One Direction, which topped Billboard's list last year, saw their earnings fall significantly following Zayn Malik's abrupt exit, though $24.2 million still doesn't sound so bad.
Billy Joel, the "Piano Man" singer and mainstay at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, earned $31.7 million in 2015.
The Rolling Stones might be over 50 years into their career, but that didn't stop them from taking in a cool $39.6 million.
Country's top dog at the moment, Kenny Chesney, nabbed $39.8 million.
Taylor Swift got the top spot with $73.5 million.
