Lorde has been named Billboard's most influential under-21-year-old, beating out 5 Seconds Of Summer and Justin Bieber to the top spot.

The list, which is called 21 Under 21, is published annually by Billboard, and showcases "music's most powerful minors."

They have described this year's list, which features Lorde, 5SOS and Justin Bieber in the top 3 slots respectively, as "perhaps the most impressive crop we've ever assembled."

Also included in the list are Becky G, Chief Keef, Luis Coronel, Bobby Shmurda, and Troye Sivan. Are we getting old, or do those names mean nothing to you either?

Lorde's place at the top of the list comes after the 17-year-old encouraged young people to vote, stood up to the Westboro Baptist Church and encouraged young women to discuss feminist issues. Good on her.
