DoSomething.org has released their Celebs Gone Good list for 2017 to honor the celebs that fought for positive change and gave back to their communities in major ways.

This year, Chance the Rapper took the number one spot, which was given to Queen Bey herself in 2016.

While Beyonce still ranked high on this year’s list, other names that took a win were Colin Kaepernick, Ariana Grande, and Rihanna.

The rankings were determined through online votes, which included social media, a STARmeter ranking on the Internet Movie Database and the opinions of the Celebs Gone Good Advisory Committee.

In 2017, Chance raised $2 million for Chicago Public Schools and co-founded a foundation called SocialWorks to empower the youth. With his continuous efforts to give back to the community, it was no surprise that he took the number one spot on this year’s list.
