CL comes in at #2 on TIME 100 Reader's Poll! 

2NE1\'s CL has proven her international popularity once again, and this is even before her official U.S. debut!

TIME 100 Reader\'s Poll, the talented rapper reached number 2! The diva had been racing ahead in the poll, ranking at #1 earlier. However, she was edged out by Russian President Vladmir Putin, and has settled for second plae. Third place went to Lady Gaga, 4th to Rihanna, and 5th to Taylor Swift. This makes CL the pop star with the highest percentage of votes!

CL was actually snug in the number one spot for a while, until Putin\'s votes surged in closer to the end of the poll, which concluded on April 10. In addition to the reader\'s poll, the editors of the magazine will also be revealing their picks for

TIME\'s 100 Most Influential People in the World ranking on April 16.

Putin be using dem secret police to good use if he\'s beating a Kpop idol in an online related poll

By looking at the other people on this list, it\'s clear it\'s been voted by idiots. I\'m not saying cl\'s not talented, how the hell is she "influential"?? this is so stupid

Lol this isn\'t even the poll regarding the most infuencial people. Thats set to release later on. Re-reaf the article

Question for Blackjack fans: Do any of you actually read TIME Magazine? Or do you only pay attention because everyone\'s talking about it?

what if instead of CL it was your Bias, idol was mentioned, would it get you attention? sth like that

GO BACK TO YOUR KINDERGARTEN KIDD. GROW UP , THEN COME BACK AND TALK -_- YOUR BUTT-HURT WILL GET BETTER TOO... (this applys to all the haters in this topic too)

@DelARam501 Funny how you feel insulted when I\'m simply asking a question. You choosing to respond in the manner that you did goes to show that you\'re somehow annoyed which is not the intention. Either answer the question or continue scrolling down. It\'s as simple as that, mate.

@MeniNova well , with stupid , useless and off-the-topic questions like this you should expect stupid and useless answers like mine too ! cause if you had asked this question in another topic that wouldn\'t mean you\'re extremely jeolous about the news or just a big hater , I would answer you like serious so yeah , you are the one who wants to make fanwars/arguments here not me PAL ! :|

@DelARam501 How is asking a simple question creating fan war? And this is for BJs only. And my question is not off topic since it\'s talking about CL\'s association with TIME magazine. My question is clearly related to the article posted. But anyways, choose to answer the question, I really don\'t care.

and to answer your question , it\'s obvious that many of us specially including YOU don\'t read this magazine but it doesn\'t mean if you don\'t use yahoo search engine you can\'t have a yahoo mail too it\'s called facilities and peoples\' needs so when I enter TIME\'s website since I don\'t care about the news I look for it\'s polls and etc. cause I want to and this is why your question is wrong and stupid and next time you wanted to ask these Philosophical questions think of one that\'s not SILLY. and the second question is so childish that only kindergarten will answer to you....

@IM_lovinIT Thank you! I don\'t know why the two users are getting all worked up about it.

@DelARam501 Oh and thank you that you know SOOO much about my life. I really do appreciate that.

Wow 2nd is no joke!! Chukhaee unnieee!! Hope blackjacks could get her to 1st

Morally CL is #1. Putin just took first place because he is the Dark Overlord who can manipulate time and space.

It\'s the second place, but it feels like CL won! She went against strong figures and some media talked about her. I\'m so proud of her, keep slaying!

Wow at comments section...sone here to say good job to CL. Even though it\'s a poll, it\'s still an accomplishment okay? Also still waiting for her U.S. debut..lol

lmao I love her but #2 in the whole world?? sorry but that\'s a slight overstatement. yes she\'s very famous and influential but #2 in the whole world is a stretch

pffftt..are you aware that this is a poll? They are not saying that it is a confirmation that CL is. It\'s just what came out of the poll. o/ smh

Well but she\'s influential enough to have snag #2 so I suppose she IS pretty influential.

This is why polls mean absolutely nothing anymore. lol how embarrassing.

Lol like this poll actually means anything

lol your face. This poll means a lot. have you not you read what was said on the article? let me repeat it, "2NE1\'s CL has proven her international popularity once again, and this is even before her official U.S. debut!" Your the one who means nothing. pathetic hater. no offense!?

@blckwht1998 it is an online poll that allows people to vote over and over and over again. Big deal. Come talk to me after she flops. I can\'t wait to see how big of a joke she is

@macoy weml. keep on waiting because she\'s not going to flop and she\'s definitely not going to be a big joke.

@macoy she\'s not a joke whether she succeeds in the US, or not, because no Asian has done so thus far. She should be applauded for her courage to do this when there are other easier business opportunities out there. Regardless of what happens, she\'s still one of the most successful korean celebrities out there. I am not a fan of hers or 2ne1, but I can still support her as a fellow Asian, as Shem s trying to get us more recognized on the world stage. Racism still exists, and she is trying to overcome a ceiling that is long past due to be broken.

Hypocrite ass bitch. It\'d be the most important poll in the world if your nobody-knows-them-outside-of-Korea Sistar had been on it lol
