Miley Cyrus does what she does best in the music video for Bitch for the past two years. She is a mean girl who whistles at everyone. The same can be said for the member and singer of the trio Lolawolf, otherwise the actress Zoë Kravitz, in whom the queen of controversy Miley has apparently found an equal "rival".

The list of the biggest music earners in 2014 according to Billboard is made only on the basis of income from songs, albums and performances.
