For those who think PewDiePie’s selection is rather surprising, the lists of the previous years will clear all your doubts. The Swedish YouTuber finished 2nd last year and came 4th back in 2018. Before that, the publication ranked him 7th in 2017 and 18th in 2016.

In other words, PewDiePie, over the last few years, has been moving up the ranks. So his selection for the first position isn’t as surprising.

Like every year, the lineup was star-studded for 2020. Famous faces in this year’s top 10 were Timothee Chalamet, Jason Derulo, and Henry Cavill, so it’s safe to assume that the competition was pretty tough.
