(Radio.com) Beyonce topped the 2016 Top Money Maker chart by bringing in $62.1 million. That's about $20 million more than her closest competition, according to Billboard. Beyonce's earnings came largely from her Formation world tour and her last album Lemonade, which sold 2.2 million copies. Guns N' Roses kicked off an ongoing world tour with a secret show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles.
