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