From a surprise album to a sold out world tour, Beyoncé has changed the game in several different ways this year alone. It only seems right that Queen Bey would get recognized by TIME Magazine’s Influential People List; however, not only is she given a place on the esteemed list, but she tops it. For their upcoming issue, Beyoncé Knowles will be beautifully featured on the cover.
