When it comes down to dollars, pop’s top lady has been deemed Katy Perry. Forbes announced its list of 2015’s highest-paid women in music Wednesday, and Perry led the lineup, raking in $135 million this year, with most of her sales coming from her Prismatic tour.

Swift came in second with $80 million, thanks largely to the success of her 1989 tour. Fleetwood Mac grabbed the No. 3 spot with $59.5 million, also supported by a world tour in 2015. Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie‘s band just edged out Lady Gaga, who came in fourth with $59 million.

Perry dethroned Beyoncé, 2014’s top-earning female artist, and this year, Queen Bey slid back to No. 5 with $54.5 million. The drop comes from Beyoncé’s lack of new music and a tour in 2015.
