'Novacane' singer Frank Ocean has been included in a poll that aims to rank "gay men and women whose power and prestige is instrumental in influencing the way Americans think about, and engage with, the world."

Out magazine compiled the list and put Ocean at No.10, which makes him the only star of music to be featured.

He made headlines last year after writing an open letter in which he explained that he had been in love with a man. Following Ocean's honest admission, many other prolific music figures praised his bravery and spoke out about the changing attitudes towards sexuality in the music world.

Ellen DeGeneres was placed at No.2 on Out's poll, reporter and TV personality Anderson Cooper came in fifth and 'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy came third.
