Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade was probably the catalyst for the couple’s earnings. The album debuted exclusively on Tidal, Jay-Z’s streaming service that Beyoncé owns a stake in. Queen B managed to elbow out her hubby, thanks to earnings from the 19 shows that she performed between June 15 and June 16 (that’s Forbes’ scoring period).

The couple is still far behind Taylor Swift, who raced to the top of the list with $170 million, which a big leap from last year’s comparatively meager $80 million. Others on the list were One Direction, writer James Patterson, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, and Dr. Phil McGraw.

Beyoncé’s tall glass of lemonade probably tastes super refreshing right now.
