Helping them nab the top honor was Jay Z's new album, Magna Carter Holy Grail, which went double platinum and Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime performance, plus selling out her world tour and releasing a documentary about her life on HBO.

It's funny how JayZ wears his wedding ring and Beyonce doesn't.

Usually it's the other way round.
