USHER has topped a new poll to find the most powerful voice in pop music in 2005.

The R+B star beat ALICIA KEYS, COLDPLAY and EMINEM to claim the top spot in the Los Angeles Times Pop Power List, after industry bigwigs including producers JERMAINE DUPRI and RICK RUBIN and rap mogul RUSSELL SIMMONS were asked to cast their votes.

The full top 10 is:

1. USHER

2. ALICIA KEYS

3. COLDPLAY

4. EMINEM

5. BEYONCE KNOWLES

6. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

7. OUTKAST

8. 50 CENT

9. KANYE WEST

10. DR DRE.
