BEYONCE LANDS ON THE COVER OF TIME THE 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE.

Beyonce has landed the cover of Time magazine's annual '100 Most Influential People in the World'.

The pop queen beat other names on the list - from President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Vladimir Putin, Pope Francis and Miley Cyrus - to feature on the coveted cover.

Further covers placed inside the magazine feature actor Robert Redford, the NBA's first openly gay athlete Jason Collins, and General Motors CEO Mary Barra.

Time says that the list is a roundup of people who have inspired others, regardless of their moral standing, and each name on the list is accompanied with reasons why they deserve a spot.

'She's the boss,' Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg explained in her profile of the cover star.
