7) Garth Brooks estimated $150 million
Like all the other country music singers in our list, Brooks was also a country music singer and songwriter.
His first album, which was released in 1989, was number 2 in the U.S. country album chart and number 13 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Brooks’ original approach and integration of rock elements into his songs and his live performance earned him instant popularity.
That feature, let’s say, allowed him to dominate the country single and album charts while checking the field into the pop area.
And so, he managed to break the records for both sales and concert attendance back in the 1990s.
His fame didn’t fade away. Nowadays his recordings continue to sell and his sale albums are at 65 million copies sold, which makes him the best-selling albums artist in the U.S. a title he held since 1991 aside from Elvis Presley.
