Last night under the lights in Hollywood at The Emerson Theatre, the Power 100 reception was held to celebrate the honorees of this year’s Billboard Power 100 (Click Here for Photos). The Billboard Power 100 is an annual list of the most influential people in the music industry. This year, celebrity power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé take their seat on the thrown at number one on the list. Not a surprise at all since we all know both artists collectively have contributed so much to the music industry in the last year alone.
Beyoncé with her self-titled secret album and Jay Z with sold out shows on his “Magna Carter World Tour,” the two respectfully earned the number one spot. Performers at the Power 100 reception included Judith Hill, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Tata Vega, and Darlene Love from the Oscar-nominated film “20 Feet to Stardom.”
