One Direction Make It Into Billboard’s Top 40 Money Makers Music Rich List
One Direction feature in this year’s Billboard Top 40 Money Makers Music Rich List, way to go boys!
It was only yesterday that we posted about Niall being named one of Ireland’s top earners here but now the band have conquered yet another line-up. Pretty impressive right?The list put together by Billboard ranks singers and bands based on their earnings made in America last year. This includes artists from all different genres of music. Forget one dollar bills, One Direction dollar bills are worth a lot more!
Zayn, Liam, Louis, Harry and Niall come in at number 13 on the list with US earnings of a staggering $18,041,472.69.WOW! We can’t ever imagine making that much money.
The figure is based on money made from: their 3D movie ‘This Is Us’, sales of Midnight Memories, tour tickets sold, revenue from radio airplay and much more.
Taylor Swift topped Billboard’s list and other singers in the top 10 include: Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Maroon 5 and P!nk. You can check out the top 40 in full here.
We’re pretty sure the boys would have ranked even higher if the list was based on worldwide sales.
Still, it’s a great achievement and all you American directioners helped them get it so well done!
