Some of these include the likes of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, household name and likeness Tim Allen, and sports stars like soccer's Mallory Swanson.

When we look at the musical side of things, famous artists that originated in Colorado have included Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Dan Fogelberg, Judy Collins, and perhaps most recently, The Fray. However, the Colorado band that has made more money than any other has arguably faded into obscurity, leaving the distinction of top-selling artist, in some sense, up for grabs.

What is Colorado's Highest-Earning Band or Artist?

According to newly released data, The Fray is the musical act from Colorado that has earned more money than any other homegrown artist.

While The Fray was once a household name, following the departure of lead singer and pianist Isaac Slade, the band has yet to replicate the success it saw earlier in its career.

Fortunately for the band's dedicated fan base, The Fray continues to tour and make music as a band, with founding member Joe King taking over the vocal duties following Slade's departure.
