Rankings were determined by a combination of key factors including market share, exclusive Billboard chart data/boxscore information, and revenue. A team of 15 top Billboard editors then analyzed the value of these metrics to produce the final results. The list is U.S. based. As well, the Power 100 puts a premium on the top decision makers at each company.BILLBOARD'S top 100 power list when you continue...

I have no idea who 1-12 are, i had to open google in a side bar, well if they are top 100 so be it
Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga rate higher than Simon Cowell?? I'm hearing you
You see as dem put name wey we don't even knw and d list is accurate but in 9ja if dem no put dbanj,2face,omotola,wizkid or popular stars,it's not complete
I DONT EVEN KNOW 50% OF THIS PEOPLE THAT MADE UP DIS LIST.B N J 13TH POSITION HMMMMMM BTW NO CELION DION OR LUTHER ON THIS LIST.
hiaaa...dnt even knw most of the names on that list apart frm few of dem. meanwhile lady gaga at 84...cnt believe it.
no madonna?
Am sorry but the list is fake. How come Adele didn't make the cut?
They did not say musicians, they said people in the industry which means some names on the list are behind the scenes people who control the industry. You and I don't necessarily have to know them.
This means that there are some seriuosly powerful people who don't make noise:)
I only know about 6 of them..strange names in a strange list!! do oo!
Jay Z,Beyonce& Lady Gaga...i was expecting to see your names and it did apear....members of ILLUMINATI...and where is Rihana????? mtechwwwwww.....next please.
this illuminati candidates will soon start beefing themselves with this rating. billboard ko, placard ni. oshisko...
Ii dunno y pounded yam tastes so good...
This list is not just about artists, but also about record label owners, music directors, producers and stakeholders who have helped shape the music inductry in the US. So don't worry if your favourite artiste's name's not on the list. Lots of powerful guys work behind the sceene.
The first 13 are the people behind the scenes. Most of them are Jews. Now when they talk of Free Mason/Illuminati influence these guys are like handlers.
There r a lotta producers on d list .eg. Ron Slim Williams is Birdman's brother and co owner of Cash Money. Also, Paul Rosenberg is an executive producer at Shady Records.
I didn't c micheal Jackson or whitney houston,hw comes
who are all theses people? where is p.diddy, mariah carey.....n what's taylor swift looking 4 on dat list?
how come there are so many strange names here....simon cowell is d last on d list???????? wow
Wht happen 2 d rest of them? Rihana and co. All dis pple re they illuminati?
Wht happen 2 d rest of them? Rihana and co. All dis pple re they illuminati?
This is not rating or ranking or whatever u cal it. Where are musicians like akon, rihana, ashanti, dbanj. Linda just give me 3days, i ll bring out my own list.
Smh! Linda you really have some daft people on your blog.
Did anyone say that the powerful people in music have to be the musicians themselves?? Go get an education people!!!!!
Lol @ your own list. Meanwhile that your last name is scary o.
where is Obey's name on this list?. lol
@Dear Lib readers. . .u too d words rite out 4rm my mouth. . .
Am tired of dis our naija kinda Educated illitrates attitude. . .too bad.
Cosign. This people are those who work behind the scenes. They make more money off many of the popular artistes.
Da fin tire me sef.Some words are rather left unsaid.If u*LIB readers* do not understand da sub-heading keep calm rather dan spew shit outta ya mouth. Linda said MOST POWERFUL ''PEOPLE'' IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY & not MOST POWERFUL ''MUSICIANS'' IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Beyonce and jay-z didn't do badly at all.
Yes dey r now, oh u don't know! Even you are illuminati are u not aware!! Smh like seriously r u dis dense or ur jus faking it? cos if u are its a cause for national concern...Help urself friend illuminatti is nothing but a publicity stunt
WHAT ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON
