Take this, Justin Bieber . Up yours, Miley Cyrus . We’re very sorry, Ariana Grande. One Direction tops Billboard.com’s 2013 edition of 21 Under 21, which lists music’s most powerful young artists on a yearly basis. Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson are ranked number-one due to their recent musical achievements: “Up All Night” dominated the charts in 35 countries and the group became the only U.K. band in history to have its first two albums debut at number-one on the Billboard 200 chart. Moreover, 1D placed six songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart over the past 10 months alone, more than any other group in 2013.; they’ve also found big screen success with their 3D concert film grossing more than $62 million to date. Apparently these feats beat out Miley Twerking and Justin taking his shirt off a lot. Bieber and Cyrus did finish number-two and number-three on the list, respectively, however, with Grande fourth and Earl Sweatshirt fifth.
