Lydia Picknell — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:48:25 +0000

Billboard magazine released its list of the top money makers last week, and country music’s own Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney both represent country in the top three. Taylor earned more than $35 million in 2011, beating out rock super-group U2 who only made $32 million last year. Kenny made over $29 million in 2011, placing third on the list. Kenny made the top five along with Lady Gaga, and Lil’ Wayne. Jason Aldean found his place in the top ten at number nine with a little over $13 million, placing just one spot behind Celine Dion. See the full list on Billboard’s site.

Other country stars making the top 40 include Toby Keith at number fifteen, Rascal Flatts at number eighteen, Tim McGraw at number nineteen, Brad Paisley at number twenty-one, Lady Antebellum at number twenty-six, Keith Urban at number twenty-seven, Zac Brown Band at number twenty-eight, and Sugarland beats Justin Bieber at number thirty-four.

Billboard uses U.S. income from tours, album and single sales, and publishing royalties to calculate their rankings. They do not include sponsorships, merchandise sales or synchronizing deals to put together their impressive list.

Toby and Taylor Nominated For Kids’ Choice Awards

Ted Efron — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:06:36 +0000

It’s not surprising to see Taylor Swift nominated for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2012. She’s been nominated before and even walked away with the “Blimp” for Favorite Female Singer in 2010. But what is surprising is one of this year’s nominees for Favorite Male Singer: Toby Keith.

Maybe the nomination is due to a fresh crop of kids going country. Or maybe (and more likely) it’s a result of the kids going crazy for Toby’s “Red Solo Cup.” No matter what the reason for the his first Kids’ Choice nomination, I’m sure Toby’s happy to take it. He’s up against Usher, Bruno mars and Justin Bieber, who won the award last year.

Taylor is once again nominated for Favorite Female Singer. She’s up against Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and her friend Selena Gomez. Swift’s “Sparks Fly” is nominated for Favorite Song, going up against Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” Katy Perry’s “Firework,” and the “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO.

The Kids’ Choice Awards 2012 will air live March 31st on Nickelodeon at 8pm ET.
