When you add it up all, this is a lot of money made in entertainment (just music for that matter). When you add up film, broadway, etc, there is a lot of money in the entertainment industry in the US and truth is, this money comes from around the world. The artistes listed here make money from global world tours and global album sales. Getting things right - right branding, right product, right distribution channels, etc. A lot we can learn
