Lifestyle

TIME revealed the 2018 TIME 100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The issue has six worldwide covers, each highlighting a member of the TIME 100: Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Roger Federer, Tarana Burke, Satya Nadella, and Tiffany Haddish. The list features U.S. political figures including Barack Obama, along with some of the biggest names in entertainment including Cardi B, Chadwick Boseman, Gal Gadot, Greta Gerwig, Hugh Jackman, Millie Bobby Brown, Rihanna, Sterling K. Brown, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Cher, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kerry Washington, and more.

This year’s list set several records. Oprah and Xi Jinping are on the list for the 9th time, more than any other person on the list this year. This year’s list features a record 45 women, and a record 45 people on this TIME 100 are under 40. Actor Millie Bobbie Brown,14, is the youngest person on this year’s list, and in TIME 100 history. The oldest person on this year’s list is Congresswoman Maxine Waters who is 79.

This year, the TIME 100 list comes with a soundtrack. Throughout the issue, readers will learn what inspires the world’s most influential people—and will also find even more of their musical inspirations on a special Spotify playlist.
