From the "for what it's worth" department: U2/Paul McGuinness are ranked 27th on the first-ever Billboard Power 100 -- the magazine's list of the most powerful/influential figures in the music industry. That number may seem low, but the list is made up mostly of behind-the-scenes industry people and not many artists. U2/McGuinnness is actually the second-highest ranked artist behind Jay-Z/Beyoncé at No. 13.
