Britney Spears does it again

US: Britney Spears claims No. 1 spot on Forbes' list of Top-Earning Women in Music 2012, topping Taylor Swift and Rihanna

Between her fragrance line and her album sales, Britney Spears finished No. 1 on the Forbes list of Top Earning Women in Music 2012.

She did it again.

Britney Spears dethroned Lady Gaga and beat out Taylor Swift and Rihanna to headline the Forbes list of Top Earning Women in Music 2012 released on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old "X-Factor" judge pocketed $58 million in the past year, more than any of the music industry's cash queens.

The 90s pop princess turned tabloid trainwreck bounced back after her latest album, 2011's "Femme Fatale," went platinum. Throw in its accompanying world tour, her commercial endorsements and her Beauty fragrance line with Elizabeth Arden, and the "Gimme More" singer is grabbing millions.
