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

These two are just exceptionally unique in their ways both musically and manegerially. I'm begining to think there is more to these two than what meets the eye... No doubt about them making the power list.

Unknown said...

I will always this and everybody should learn frm them....... Beyounce and jay z never had any child out of wed lock..... But our celebrities this are doing other wise.....

Unknown said...

Beyounce and jay z are the only power couples that i knw of that have never divorced or attempt to divorce...... I so much love this people, and every single couples should take them as role model....

Unknown said...

Beyounce on the other hand, has never been rumoured being in a relationship with different rappers or singers during her youth unlike rihanna dat slp around.... She is the best woman any man would ever wished for......

Unknown said...

Also with all her power, fame and riches she is still humble to her man... There by managing her family to the very best...... With all the tours she did, she did her very best giving all her tym to it but in all this, she always put her family ahead of them all......

Apple said...

Good for them.

Unknown said...

Beyounce is so hardworing that when she married jay z i thought she would rest with the thought that she married a very rich man but no, she keep doing her thing in the process letting all the ladies knw that, yes she married a richman but he made that money working for it.... So is her duty to add more numbers to the money........

People just hate on them because they are blacks and they are more powerful than the royal couple.. if black people will stop and think and stop the unnecessary hate based on false stories made up by haters.. they are both hard working and the best at what they do.. all is hard work! It didn't come easy!

Musically they rule their kingdom and in marriage that's the good thing of getting married to not just who you love, but getting married to a friend. I love their life. Just maybe Tiwa n Bliz can be our own J and Bey.. Oya curses #Mr Lucky

Em, *coughs* @edDreamz, honey, you should limit your comment to as few sentences as you can manage. That way, you'll make not quite as many grammatical errors. #justsaying.

To all the Anti JayBeyBlu i have a few questions for y'all, does your opinion count? NO....Do they know you exist? No...Does your criticism make them any less richer and your broke Asses rich? NO....finally, Blu Ivy is their child so they can fucking take care of her the way they choose to so stop being pained about them hiding her face...okay bye now, shut your dirty mouths and shove a dick while @it#BIG CONGRATS TO DA KING&QUEEN#TeamJayBeyBlu :p
