The December issue of Details magazine, titled the ‘Power and Influence’ issue, includes a list of the year’s top 50 most influential men under 45 and Justin Timberlake has made it to the list once again. Here is what the magazine says about him:
37 // The Career-Doctors
Justin Timberlake, Mark Ronson, and Timbaland (Last Year’s Rank: 29); Ages: 26, 32, 36
The music industry is about one thing these days: finding the right career-maker. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake have ruled the concert circuit with one of the year’s top tours (the FutureSex/LoveSounds road show) and dominated the airwaves, furthering their own solo careers as well as resurrecting others (say thanks, Nelly Furtado). Now the pair have bestowed their combined genius on Duran Duran, with Timberlake cowriting two singles and Timbaland at the controls for three tracks on the comeback album, Red Carpet Massacre. Next up: Madonna’s return to glory. Ronson, meanwhile, has graduated from deejaying for celebutards to manning the board on Amy Winehouse’s breakthrough album, Back to Black, and on the debut of sassy pop tart Lily Allen. That beats spinning for Paris Hilton any day.
