Eminem
$11,211,140
Eminem enjoyed a banner year in 2010, thanks to the June release of his album "Recovery," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and became the top-selling album of the year, with 3.4 million units sold in the United States. All told, he racked up total U.S. album sales of 4.3 million units and sold more than 15.9 million digital track downloads, the latter topping those of any other artist. The royalties he earned on those massive sales enabled Eminem to finish in the top half of Billboard's ranking despite playing only scattered live performances during the year, including co-headlining dates with Jay-Z in September.
