Kurt Cobain doesn't even show up on this year's Forbes top-earning dead celebrities list despite being number one last years thanks to Courtney Love selling part of his catalog for a reported $50 million. Instead, he's been dethroned by the King, who returns to the top spot.

Forbes reports that Presley's estate last year generated a total income of $49 million as a result of a massive overhaul of Graceland. Meanwhile, Cobain's estate just didn't earn enough for him to stay on the list despite the fact that the catalog sale opened the door for future ad dollars. As for other legendary musicians on the list, John Lennon jumped from the number-four spot to number two. Here's a prediction: expect Lennon's position (as well as Harrison's number-four spot) to jump next year if/when itunes releases the Beatles catalog.
Here's the top ten:
1. Elvis Presley
2. John Lennon
3. Charles M. Schulz
4. George Harrison
5. Albert Einstein
6. Andy Warhol
7. Dr. Seuss
8. Tupac Shakur
9. Marilyn Monroe
10. Steve McQueen
