Jay-Z & Beyonce, Birdman Rank On "Billboard" Power 100 List

The Hip Hop artists and moguls make the prestigious cut. Billboard magazine has just unveiled its first-ever Power 100 list, with Live Nation chairman ranked at No. 1. 

But further down the list are a handful of Hip Hop figures, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Birdman and more. Jay and Bey, who recently had their first child Blue Ivy, jointly place at No. 13.

Hov is honored for having the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, in addition to his business ventures, while Beyonce has sold more than 29 million units from solo and Destiny’s Child album sales. Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams, founders of Cash Money Records, rank at No. 25.

“We got so much more we need to do," says Baby. "We dominate rap, but we need to dominate R&B. We need to dominate pop, gospel, country-we're a brand, so we should be able to put out all these different types of music. We just got to keep grinding."
