Martin Garrix Ranked Higher Than Madeon in Latest Billboard 21 under 21 list

by Hezzy Okello · October 2, 2014

Billboard creates their infamous 21 under 21 list of Music’s Hottest Young Starsevery year. The ranking is defined by billboard as the following:

There are international stars, social-media powerhouses, on-the-rise groups and singers that have scored No. 1 smashes on the Hot 100 before their 21st birthday. There’s pop, rock, EDM, hip-hop, country, K-pop, and more genres represented here. Most importantly, there’s a ton of potential on this list — these 21 artists have already accomplished a great deal, but are safe bets to continue finding success as they edge toward adulthood. For now they’re just kids, but they’re the kids that everyone in music is watching

Madeon and Martin Garrix have made it to the list at number 14 and 4 respectively . Not a such a surprise, from Madeon’s continuous rise to stardom since his Pop Culture Live Mashup (Watch it Below) which put Madeon on the map after winning afew FL Studio Remix Contests and with his recent production work for Lady Gaga and the polarizing Martin Garrix is a no-brainer. Whether you love him or hate him, the 18 year old’s impact on the scene is undeniable (and fairly annoying too).
