Simon Fuller, who created the hugely successful Pop Idol brand, has been named the most successful British manager of all time, by a US magazine.

Fuller’s acts, who include the Spice Girls and Annie Lennox, have sold over 116million units in the US alone.

He is also behind 500 number one singles and 240 number one albums across the world, according to Billboard.

Fuller was seen as more influential than Peter Grant – the manager behind Led Zeppelin – and Beatles boss Brian Epstein.

Pop Idol has gone on to spawn a number of spin off brands around the world since it was launched in the United Kingdom at the turn of century.
