Lorde has beaten the likes of Justin Bieber, The Vamps and 5 Seconds Of Summer to be named Billboard’s most influential star under 21.

Lorde, 17, follows in the footsteps of One Direction, who topped the list last year. Sadly, the old fogeys are over 21 now, so are no longer eligible.

Sorry, old codgers…

Take a look at the full Billboard 21 Under 21 list below, and try not to feel too sorry for yourself if you’re over 21 and A LOT less important and poorer than these children…
