Forbes Names Top 30 Under 30 In Music And Leaves Out Adele, Taylor Swift and Lorde

Forbes[UPDATED] Forbes continues their string of lists this month featuring 30 movers and shakers under 30 years of age in a variety of sectors and industries.  Their music industry list is an informative read until one realizes that Adele(27), Taylor Swift (26) and Lorde (19) are nowhere to be found.

Forbes lists the criteria for 30 UNDER 30 MUSIC as  "Blending pop, rap, rock and electronic music, with a shot of entrepreneurialism" and as smart, independent minded superstars Adele, Taylor and Lorde would seem to qualify on all fronts for a list that is quite short on women.

Read on and tell us who else you think is missing.

  1. pardon me……you have the generation’s Mozart in adele and the generation’s Beethoven in taylor swift…get your head out of your ass

  2. Maybe you should read and quote from an entire article instead of picking it apart to form a false story of your own…
    “The process to make the list is intense. We look at thousands of candidates from 20 different categories and consider their game-changing quotient along various dimensions, such as impact, use of cutting edge technology or creativity, scalability or adaptability, number of people reached and dollars raised/generated. There are no repeats from years past.
