The last time we checked online, Chou is coming in at the second place, gaining more votes than big figures including the President of the United States, Barack Obama, singer Lady Gaga and actor Johnny Depp for Time magazine's list of 2011 Most Influential People in the World.
Following his recent appearance in the Hollywood flick "The Green Hornet", and his commercial with NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant, we can see that Chou is getting his name recognized on the international stage. Amazingly, Korean singer, Rain, is topping the chart at this point in time. Although you can make a difference by casting your vote on the Internet before April 14th, the editors will be the one calling the final shots.

In other news, Jay Chou (周杰倫) may have reason to congratulate himself. Although he endured many insults as a result of his participation in a subsidiary role in The Green Hornet superhero movie, it got him noticed among young Americans.
Pop Stop felt a rush of patriotic excitement when it saw rumors that Chou had been nominated for the MTV Movie Awards. Closer investigation revealed that he has been “nominated to be nominated,” and has joined the likes of Aaron Johnson from Kick-Ass, Arnie Hammer from The Social Network and Alex Pettyfer from I Am Number Four as eligible nominees for the 2011 “Best Male Breakout Star.” Other accolades include his appearance on the nomination list for Time magazine’s list of the world’s most influential people. He’s clearly on the road to becoming Taiwan’s first international star of stage and screen.
