Seven-Ten list

A Seven-Ten list is a list of ten notable people that is published by a news or journalistic organization. It is somewhat analogous to the 'ten people of the year' lists published by magazines of the twenty-first century, but bears additional political significance, like an opinion poll or a stock market index. The first seven names on a Seven-Ten list are a serious commentary of the relative standing of the world's most powerful leaders, while the last three can be a more lower-stakes declaration of esteem to various other celebrities.
