Lady Gaga 2013: New Album ‘ARTPOP’ Rumors Abound While Singer is Labeled ‘Most Powerful Musician’

Lady Gaga is having an awesome 2013. Her new album, ARTPOP, has generated a ton of rumors and press. But, Gaga doesn’t need speculation to sale tickets and CDs. The pop princess has been labeled Most Powerful Musician by Forbes.

Not a lot of information has been released about Gaga’s upcoming album, ARTPOP. But, what rumors we’ve heard leave us, and most of the world, in anticipation.

And, how could it not? Lady Gaga is such a force that two newly identified species of ferns have been named in honor of the singer.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons Forbes has labeled the singer the most powerful musician in the world. While having a plant named after you was not part of their official criteria, the magazine did take into account a number of other factors.

First, and obviously most important, was money. From June 2012 to June 2013, the artist raked in over $80 million, and that’s just for touring! Many media outlets suggest that the singer could have made up to $120 million if she didn’t have to cut short her last tour.

Gaga had to undergo emergency hip surgery, so that she could continue her provocative and sexually charged dance numbers.

Forbes also took into account the singer’s massive social media presence. On Twitter, Gaga has a staggering 38 million followers. She does even better on Facebook, with over 58 million fans.

Both those numbers are sure to increase when the starlet releases her fourth album, ARTPOP, later this year.
