Not bad for a band that did not release an album last year.

If you needed more proof that Twenty One Pilots is one of the largest bands in the world, then look no further. Billboard's annual list of musicians

Despite the lack of new releases and most of the past year at DEMA to write their new album, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have always managed to reach 44th place on the list of the highest paid musicians of 2017

This is particularly impressive because they managed to beat Taylor Swift and their special fren Brendon Urie aka Panic! At The Disco, which are respectively No. 47 and No. 48.

According to Billboard, they earned $ 11 million, divided into four categories: tour (5.1 million), edition (2 , $ 7 million), streaming ($ 2 million) and sales ($ 1.2 million). Last year, they were at No. 13 on the list but they were earning significantly less money because they were writing their next album TRENCH .

The list was largely dominated by heritage artists, defined as those who have been active for at least 20 years and / or have released a minimum of 10 albums. U2 took first place with $ 54.4 million while Garth Brooks, Metallica, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran round out the top five.

So, where do you think Twenty One Pilots will end after the tour and release of this year's album? The group is expected to begin Bandito's tour in October, starting with North America and Australia and New Zealand. European dates will follow in 2018. TRENCH will be released on October 5
