Jay Z and Beyonce Top Billboard's Power 100 List

Billboard Magazine dubs Jay Z and Beyonce the most
powerful couple in music...

From Billboard

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
Beyoncé through iTunes—they instantly changed how the
industry and fans thought about interacting with music. He
gave his album away; she charged a premium price for
hers. But they both used the element of surprise to restore
the excitement that used to accompany a new release,
before that impact was dulled by the endless thunder of
carefully plotted promotion.
