Is U2 the World’s Biggest Band?

U2 has raked in a staggering $130 million over the last 12 months — making the Irish rockers the biggest selling band in the world.
Although Bono was unable to perform after an operation on his back in May, U2 has still managed to secure its place as the most profitable international group.
According to Forbes.com’s list of top-earning musicians, the foursome pulled in $130 million over the past year from their “360 Degree” world tour and sales of their 2009 album “No Line on the Horizon.”
Get this…. In second place was AC/DC, who garnered an impressive $114 million, while Beyonce has made $87 million.
Bruce Springsteen proved he is still The Boss with $70 million, while pop sensation Britney Spears rounds out the top five biggest earners with $64 million.
Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z is three behind her at six with $63 million.
