The list ranks the most important and influential artists in contemporary black and urban music. Ed Sheeran currently tops the list, with Wiley dropping to 16.
In a series of posts on Twitter, Wiley said that although he has nothing against Ed Sheeran personally, the list reflects badly on the UK music industry.
The list was decided by a panel of BBC 1Xtra DJs and industry experts.
Initial submissions were made by 1Xtra listeners on social media sites.
The list features the likes of Disclosure, Tinie Tempah, Sam Smith, Rudimental, Emeli Sande, Naughty Boy, Katy B, Krept & Konan, Fuse ODG, Rita Ora, Lethal Bizzle and Jessie J.
