Despite that nasty hip injury which cut short Lady Gaga's tour, she still remains a force to be reckoned with.  Forbes has named Lady Gaga as the most powerful musician in the world.

Lady Gaga, according to Forbes, earned over $168 million.  She's also the most followed musician on social media, with over 57 million Facebook fans and over 38.5 million followers on Twitter.

Madonna, at number three, pulled in $305 million, thanks to her MDNA tour.

The rest of the top ten, in order, are Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Coldplay and Katy Perry.
