Adele named most powerful person in UK music
Adele has been named the most powerful person in the British music industry.
The Music Power 100 poll by the Guardian newspaper saw the singer – who has topped the UK album charts for 16 weeks running this year with '21', but had a relatively short career, releasing her debut album in 2008 – and her team beat more established industry figures including Simon Cowell, Jay-Z and Damon Albarn.
