POWER COUPLE; JAY-Z AND BEYONCE TOPS BILLBOARD MOST POWERFUL LIST


Jay-z and Beyonce tops the list of most powerful 1000 people in music by Billboard, this was what they said about the couple;

Who in the music industry did so better in the last year than this power couple?
Leveraging their star power to release new albums in unprecedented ways—Jay Z through Samsung and BeyoncĂ© through iTunes—they instantly changed how the industry and fans thought about interacting with music.

In short, they proved that content truly is king. Or, in this case, king and queen.
