Gudinski, Handlin and Coppel honoured in Billboard International Power Players list

The Mushroom Group’s Michael Gudinski, Sony Music Australia’s Denis Handlin, and Live Nation’s Michael Coppel have been honoured in Billboard’s inaugural ‘International Power Players’ list.

The list "highlights the achievements of executives who drive our business forward with their artistic and business vision", and "who have had the most power to drive change in their area of business".

The Billboard International Power Players list marks the first time Billboard has recognised industry executives outside of the US with such an honour.

The full list is available here, and features major players such as George Ergatoudis from BBC1, IFPI’s Frances Moore, Charles Caldas of Merlin, and Simon Cowell.
