Eclectic pop star Lady Gaga is on track to earn $100 million this year, it has been reported.

According to Forbes magazine, the singer is set to rake in nearly double the amount she earned last year.

The publication predicted that the money will come from sell out tours, album sales and product endorsements.

Her first album Poker Face sold over 12 million copies worldwide and the star is set to emulate that success with the release of her new album, Born This Way, in May.

Gaga also has 41 shows scheduled in 2011, from which she is set to make around $33m, and a host of new product endorsement deals from the likes of Virgin Mobile and Polaroid.

The magazine also revealed that only two bands managed to earn over the $100m mark last year, with Irish rockers U2 raking in $130m and AC/DC earning $114.
