  • Brad O'Mance

Adele has 'topped' the Forbes 30 Under 30 In Music list which aims to honour "the field’s brightest stars under the age of 30".

The list was chosen by editors, reporters and "experts" and features the following people in the Top 10.

1. Adele — artist
2. Avicii — artist
3. Justin Bieber — aritst
4. Benny Bianco — producer/songwriter
5. Drake — artist
6. Daniel Ek — Spotify
7. Lady Gaga — Artist
8. Skylar Grey — singer/songwriter
9. Calvin Harris — DJ
10. Matt Jones — Crowdsurge

Poor Alexandra Burke.

Do you think stuff like this even registers on Adele's radar when she's sitting at home with a baby and a room full of Grammys?

Anyway, you can see the full list here.
