According to Forbes, these Lists are compiled through estimates from influential sections of the music industry as follows:

 

"To compile our list we talk to estate managers, agents, music publishers and other in-the-know folks to come up with estimates of what each estate brought in between October 2013 and October 2014. We don’t deduct for taxes or things like management fees."

 

Also, it appears that the Elvis (Hologram) Concerts should be up and running by Spring 2015.
