According to Vanity Fair's 'New Establishment' for 2013, Jay Z and Beyonce, who were ranked number 8 last year, are the most important powers that be in the U.S this year.
Helping them take top spot was Jay Z's new album, Magna Carter Holy Grail, which went double platinum and Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime performance, plus selling out her world tour and releasing a documentary about her life on HBO.
