《福布斯》杂志上周三正式公布,流行歌手泰勒·斯威夫特以1.7亿美元的收入成为2016年度收入最高的女歌手。
With earnings of $170 million, pop singer Taylor Swift was 2016's highest-paid woman in music, Forbes magazine said Wednesday.
斯威夫特今年26岁,她的“1989”世界巡演北美站收入超过2亿美元,冲击了滚石乐队的北美巡演的纪录。
Swift, 26, smashed the Rolling Stones' North American touring record, pulling in a total of more than $200 million on the North American portion of her "1989" world tour.
今年五月,泰勒·斯威夫特获得了第一届美国音乐传媒大奖“泰勒·斯威夫特奖”,这个奖旨在讽刺她“如果颁给别人,她又要不高兴了”。
Swift was honored with the first-ever "Taylor Swift Award" at the BMI Pop Awards in May, quipping that she "would be kind of bummed" if the award had gone to someone else.
发行了单曲《Hello》的英国歌手阿黛尔以8050万的收入位列《福布斯》榜单的第二位,这也是截至目前她的最高收入了。
British "Hello" singer Adele, 28, ranked second on Forbes' list with $80.5 million in earnings, her highest total yet.
阿黛尔的专辑《25》迅速成为2015年最畅销的专辑,今年她继续保持着专辑销量的成功,每晚的剧场演唱都能获得数百万的收入。
Adele, whose album "25" swiftly became the biggest seller of 2015, enjoyed continued success with album sales this year and grossed millions per night for her arena shows.
2013年收入最高的女歌手麦当娜,今年位列第三。据《福布斯》杂志称,最近她的“Rebel Heart”巡演赚了1700万美元,这样就使她的巡演总收入(税前)达到了14亿美元。
Madonna, who was named the highest-paid woman in music in 2013, ranked third this year. Her recent "Rebel Heart" tour grossed $170 million, bringing her career total on the road to $1.4 billion pretax, according to the magazine.
在过去的12个月里,58岁的麦当娜总共赚了7650万美元。这些钱比在巴巴多斯出生的歌手蕾哈娜多一点--蕾哈娜赚了7500万美元,她在8月28日获得了美国音乐录影带大奖的“终身成就奖”。
In the past 12 months, Madonna, 58, earned a total of $76.5 million. That was slightly more than Barbados-born Rihanna, who earned $75 million and also received a lifetime achievement award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28.
《Lemonade》演唱者碧昂斯是2014年收入最高的女歌手,今年以5400万美元的收入排在第五。
"Lemonade" artist Beyonce, who was 2014's top earner, ranked fifth at $54 million.
《福布斯》的本次榜单是基于经理、经纪人、律师以及歌手本人的采访,按照2015年6月到2016年6月这一年的税前收入算的。
Forbes compiled the list after estimating pretax income for the 12 months from June 2015 to 2016 based on interviews with managers, agents, lawyers and some of the stars.
该榜单也参考了《潮流星报》、美国唱片工业协会以及尼尔森唱片市场调查公司的数据。
It also looked at data from the Pollstar, the Recording Industry Association of America and tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan.
