Beyonce Appears On TIME's "100 Most Influential People" List For 2nd Straight Year , Jay Z Falls Off The List

BEYONCE APPEARS ON TIME’S “100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE” LIST FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR, JAY Z FALLS OFF THE LIST

(AllHipHop News) The Earth’s population is roughly 8 billion people and TIME magazine has once again narrowed that down to “The 100 Most Influential People”. For the second year in a row, Beyonce was named on the list and appears on the cover for the issue.

Last year, both Jay Z and Beyonce appeared on TIME’s 100 Most Influential People list in the Titan and Icon categories, respectively. Howver, Jay Z was omitted from this year’s list. While his Samsung deal for Magna Carta Holy Grail‘s release was innovative, Beyonce’s album release strategy was apart of the reasoning for her selection on the list, according to Sheryl Sandberg, the first woman to serve on Facebook’s board of trustees:

In December, she took the world by surprise when she released a new album, complete with videos, and announced it on Facebook and Instagram. Beyoncé shattered music-industry rules — and sales records.

Beyonce was placed in the same Titan category her husband had occupied the year prior. Check out Beyonce cover TIME’s “100 Most Influential People In The World” issue below:
