Tim McChaaa-Chiiing!


Tim McGraw landed at No. 7 on Forbes magazine's annual list of top-earning musicians for the past year, the only country musician represented on the chart.

Thanks in large part to his Soul2Soul tour with his wife, Faith Hill, which raked in $87 million, Tim earned $37 million last year. He also sold more than 2 million albums last year, with his March release, Let It Go, topping the Billboard charts. At No. 1 on the list of top-earners were the Rolling Stones, who netted $88 million.

Tim also ranked No. 37 on the magazine's Celebrity 100, a list of the most powerful celebrities, where he appeared alongside names like Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods and Steven Spielberg. That list draws from a variety of criteria, including pay, web and press rank, TV/radio rank and top attributes. Tim's top attributes were listed as "talented, handsome." And awesome.
