Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Adele are among the top names on this year?s Woman?s Hour Power List.

The list ranks the 40 most powerful women currently working in the music industry.

Former Destiny?s Child singer Beyonce, who this year became the first black woman to headline Coachella, is in first place, with judges saying that she uses her music and position to bring ?black politics, civil rights activism and feminism into the mainstream?.

She says she's a "black Bill Gates in the making" who "ain't never seen a ceiling in my whole damn life".

So it's hardly surprising that Beyonc? has been named music's most powerful woman by BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

The superstar came first in a list of the industry's 40 most influential women, thanks to her feminism, activism and empowering musical messages.

Taylor Swift, Adele and Dua Lipa were also included on the power list, which was unveiled as part of BBC Music Day.

The top 40 didn't just recognise big-sellers and global stars, making room for the unsung heroes who work behind the scenes to champion women.

Third place went to Vanessa Reed who, as head of PRS for Music, has persuaded dozens of festivals to sign up to a 50:50 gender balance on their line-ups by 2022.

The top 10 also includes Marin Alsop, who became the first female conductor to lead the Last Night of the Proms in 2013, and Chi-chi Nwanoku, who founded Europe's first professional majority black and minority ethnic orchestra, Chineke!
