Rain #1 On Online Votes For Time’s Top 100

Korean singer and actor seems to be a regular on the Time Online Top 100. He’s made appearances on the list of the top 100 most influential people in past years, and it seems that 2011 will be no exception.

The renowned US publication is conducting an online voting where Rain was in first place as of April 5th. This was out of 18,066 votes (3:30 PM local time), and 16,252 voted Rain to be influential while 1,814 voted him not influential.

Following hot on Rain’s heels was American actor Chris Colfer who had 12,186 influential votes and 1,506 not influential votes. Third place went to pop star Lady Gaga, fourth to the diva Beyonce, and fifth to the heroes working hard to keep the radiation leaks at bay at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Sixth place was taken by US Republican representative Ron Paul, seventh to singer Rihanna, and 8th place to the US First Lady, Michelle Obama. Wael Ghonim took the 9th slot, while Mohamed Bouazizi, the former Secretary-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency rounded out the top 10.

There are 203 candidates in total for this year’s final list, with the online voting continuing until April 14th. The Top 100 are a list of leaders, heroes, artists, and thinkers who have influenced the entire world in some way. There are two lists and one of them is the online list, where online voters have a say in the final selection.
