Gaga named entertainment’s most influential
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 30 April 2010
Lady Gaga has been named the most influential ‘artist’ in the world in Time magazine’s annual poll of such things. You wouldn’t think she’d been around long enough for her influence to spread that far, but you can’t argue with a poll, can you?
Comedian Conan O’Brien is second on the list, with director Kathryn Bigelow at three, Oprah Winfrey at four, and Russian conductor Valery Gergiev at five. Other music people in the artists list include Taylor Swift at nine, Prince at twelve, Simon Cowell (who is apparently an ‘artist’) at fifteen, and Elton John at seventeen.
