Billboard’s 40 under 40- who made the list?


The decision in 2012 to expand our long-running Power Players special feature 30 Under 30 with a revised age criteria has allowed us to highlight the achievements of a greater number of established executives who, nonetheless, are still at a relatively early stage in their careers,” (http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/4743707/billboards-2013-40-under-40-full-list-revealed. Duffy, T, 7/29/2013).

“The change had another result; a surge in reader nominations when the call when out this spring on billboard.biz. With the added exposure of this project on Twitter, we received well over 400 reader suggestions for execs to recognize,” (http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/4743707/billboards-2013-40-under-40-full-list-revealed, Duffy, T, 7/29/2013).

For 2013, a few of the people who made it include John Janick (Interscope Records), Aaron Bay-Schuck (Atlantic Records), and Jay Brown (Roc Nation). To see the complete list, visit the article, http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/4743707/billboards-2013-40-under-40-full-list-revealed.

As you reviewed this article, did you agree with rating these young executives? Do you think this is too intimidating? Why or why not? Personally, I think it is motivational to read about what others have accomplished.
