Jay Z And Beyonce Rank No.1 On The 2013 List Of 'Important Powers That Be In America'

A new ranking of American movers and shakers confirms that American  first couple isn't the Obamas but the Carters.
According to Vanity Fair's 'New Establishment' for 2013, musician couple Jay Z and Beyonce are the most important powers that be in the U.S.
Mr and Mrs Shaun Carter were last ranked number eight, but their busy year propelled them to the number one spot.
Helping them nab the top honor was Jay Z's new album, Magna Carter Holy Grail, which went platinum before it even hit store shelves thanks to a strategically planned pre-order release.
Beyonce did her part too by booking a Super Bowl halftime performance, selling out her world tour and releasing a documentary about her life on HBO.
