This Just-in: Bieber, One Direction named Billboard’s ‘hottest minors’
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 20 September 2012
Billboard has published its yearly shortlist of what its staff consider to be ‘Music’s Hottest Minors’, ie pop juniors under the age of 21.
(Who else but) Justin Bieber is ruled most ‘hot’ on the basis of his “more adult-leaning full-length ‘Believe'”, “tabloid-ready pictures with girlfriend Selena Gomez” (who places at six) and “adorable, now-legal good looks”. Eew.
“Fresh faced quintet” One Direction, meanwhile, fly the ‘hot’ flag for us Brits, scoring the accolade of second most ‘hot’ in front of the I-can’t-believe-they’re-still-not-21 likes of Odd Future’s Earl Sweatshirt, Demi Lovato, Cher Lloyd, Nick Jonas and a still-just-about ‘hot’ Miley Cyrus. If you’re perplexed as to why the number one underage hottie Justin Bieber’s touring-partner-to-be, Carly Rae Jepsen, is absent from the ranking, it’s because she’s 26. Yes, really.
