Billboard‘s Power 100 cover is here!

The mag’s latest issue features Kanye West and Lana Del Rey posing with Universal Music Group chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge, who also nabbed the No. 1 spot of Billboard‘s list this year. Grainge’s top spot is one position higher than his No. 2 spot from last year’s list.

“Lucian has such an extensive knowledge of music history, yet his eye is always on the future,” Del Rey gushed of her boss in the issue. “As artists, we’re lucky he’s at the helm.”
