Over the course of his career, he has been instrumental in the careers of artists such as Amy Winehouse, ABBA, Eurythmics, Rihanna, Sam Smith, Take That, Psychedelic Furs, The Rolling Stones, Sting, U2, Jamie Cullum and Andrea Bocelli.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Pre-GRAMMY Gala To Honor Lucian Grainge )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Lucian Grainge: The 2015 Billboard Power 100 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Lucian Grainge Tops Billboard's 2015 Power 100 List )〕 Grainge has worked in the music business for his entire career. In 2013 and 2015, he topped Billboard Magazine’s “Power 100” list as the most powerful person in the music business, the only person to twice hold that distinction.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Billboard Reveals the 2013 Power 100 )〕
Irving Azoff called him "'the great hope for the music business'" and Jimmy Iovine commented that Grainge "is working to restore () spirit of risk-taking and innovation" by being "'willing and open to entrepreneurship and that kind of thing the record industry has gotten depleted of.'"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Can this man save the music business? )〕
In an interview with Grainge, Billboard wrote: “If “power” means moving markets or greenlighting massive spends, Universal Music Group chairman Lucian Grainge demonstrated a staggering penchant for it when UMG completed its $1.9 billion acquisition of EMI’s recorded-music assets in September 2012. Grainge is a fierce and tireless advocate for the recorded-music business."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Billboard Power 100: Lucian Grainge Q&A )〕 In 2013, CNET wrote that “Grainge is positioning Universal to lead the pack” of major labels in their embracing of new digital opportunities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crank it up: Russell Simmons, Universal Music launch label – on YouTube )〕 A 2014 front-page LA Times profile of Grainge said that "if anyone can save the music business, it might be Grainge."〔 In 2015, Billboard wrote, “in the age of Spotify, YouTube and Shazam, Grainge is positioned to tackle his business' overriding priority: win fair compensation for artists, and take full ownership of content that other parties have been profiting from.”〔
==Early life and career==
Lucian Grainge grew up in northern London. Grainge worked his way up in the London music scene after leaving Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for Boys at the age of 18, when he began working as a runner at a talent scout company called MPC.〔 After calling several record label heads from the Music Week directory, he got through to Maurice Oberstein, the chairman of CBS Records, who hired him for publishing company April Music's A&R department. His first signing was the Psychedelic Furs. In 1982 he became the director of RCA Music Publishing. Two years later he became an A&R director for MCA Records. He set up PolyGram Music Publishing in 1986 and joined Polydor as GM of A&R and business affairs in 1993. He was promoted to managing director of Polydor in 1997, and had success with acts including Boyzone and the Lighthouse Family.〔(The Rise of Lucian Grainge | Billboard.biz )〕 Since becoming chairman and Chief Executive of Universal Music in 2011, Grainge has overseen a strategy to increase Universal's digital distribution, international expansion and market leadership in both recorded music and publishing.
