They have now published their put annual list of The World's Highest-Paid Musicians . . . and not surprisingly, U2 came out on top.  Again.

From May of last year to last month, U2 raked in $195 million, which is up from the $130 million that they pulled down the year before, when they were also ranked #1.

Here's the complete list:
