London: Pop star Lady Gaga has beaten Beyonce and
Madonna to the title of World's Most Powerful Musician according to
Forbes Magazine's 2013 list.
The 27-year-old came first in the annual ranking, which is
determined by earnings, social media influence and press mentions,
largely thanks to the star's 'Born This Way' world tour grossing a
massive USD 168 million, despite it being cut short due to her hip
injury.
The eccentric performer, who also ranked second on Forbes' Most
Powerful Celebrities list, is a prolific social media user and
communicates daily with her 38.5 million Twitter fans and 57.9 million
Facebook fans, who she calls her 'Little Monsters'.
Beyonce ranked second on the list, with her current 'Mrs Carter
World Tour' grossing USD 2 million per concert date, while Madonna came
in at number three with her 'MDNA Tour' raking in over USD 305 million.
Taylor Swift was fourth thanks to the smash success of her new
album 'Red', while rockers Bon Jovi, powered by their 'Because We Can'
tour, came in at number five, and social media whizz Justin Bieber was
sixth.
Coldplay were the only British artists to feature in the
American-dominated Top 10, after their world tour made them USD 3
million per performance.
