Kanye West and Lana Del Rey have featured on the cover of Billboard's Power 100 issue.
Also on the front cover is UMG chairman/CEO Lucian Grange, who tops the list.
“Lucian has such an extensive knowledge of music history, yet his eye is always on the future. As artists, we’re lucky he’s at the helm," says Del Rey.
Also included in the list are Apple’s Jimmy Iovine, Roc Nation’s Jay Brown, Epic Records’ L.A. Reid and Sylvia Rhone, and Cash Money’s Birdman and Slim.
Last month, Lana Del Rey announced that her new album will be titled Honeymoon and nine songs have already been written.
"It's very different from the last one and similar to the first two, Born to Die and Paradise" she told Billboard. "It's growing into something I really like. I'm kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one. It's been good."
Del Rey also said that she has covered Nina Simone’s 'Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood' for the album explaining “I like summarising the record with a jazz song. I’m having fun with my interpretation.”
Later this year Del Rey and Courtney Love will embark on a joint tour of the US. For tickets and information, visit here .
