U2, who netted $130 million from their massive world tour and other deals, are the world's top-earning musicians, according to Forbes.com.The group made $10 million in ticket sales on each tour stop and, along with merchandising revenue, hit the top of the list ahead of Australian heavy metal group AC/DC, who earned $114 million from their worldwide tour. I still remember their classic songs. Do you like it?

I know a lot of songs by U2 and I am not surprised at all they got big revenues from their concert. Their target market is not teenagers who got little money. Their target audience is adult people who works in an office that can afford their pricey tickets. I hope someday they come to my country, but I doubt it since it will be so expensive.

Yes! It is my favourite band, so I obviously think it is well deserved. It's a band that has been playing together for so many years already and has made so many classic songs together, that it makes sense really. Good for them!

Wow! Really? I mean, I like U2! City of Blinding Lights is my favorite song of theirs. It makes me think of New York, Paris, Tokyo, and it feels refreshing. I didn't know a lot of people like U2. Well congratulations to them millionaires!
