TIME Magazine have released their list of the 25 most influential teens of 2014, which includes musicians Lorde, Becky G, Troye Sivan and Jaden Smith.

The publication analysed "social-media followings, cultural accolates, business acumen and more" to compile their list of the 25 most influential teens of the year.

Included on the list, which is ordered by age rather than importance, are Malala Yousafzai, Chloe Grace Moretz and, controversially, reality TV stars Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

There are also several musicians on the list, including 17-year-old Lorde, whose debut album Pure Heroine, as well as her refreshingly candid attitude towards beauty, fame and youth, endeared her to a generation of music fans.

Jaden Smith, who's probably better known for his truly insane tweets than for being a musician, actor and Will Smith's son, is also included.

Other musicians on this year's list are Becky G, who was signed by Dr. Luke in 2011 after he watched her YouTube covers, and South Africa-Australian musician Troye Sivan.
