The radio station BBC Radio 4 made its list of the 20 most influential women in the music industry, which, predictably, led Beyoncé.
The singer was noted not only for sales of her albums or numerous music awards, but also for the influence that Beyonce has on modern society – the singer is actively fighting for the rights of black Americans and women.
“Silver” ranking BBC experts gave to Taylor Swift for nothing, not fighting, and closed the top three Vanessa Reed, who heads the copyright society PRS for Music.

1. Beyonce
2. Taylor Swift
