In recent years, ''Time'' has assembled an annual list of the 100 most influential people of the year. Originally, they had made a list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. These issues usually have the front cover filled with pictures of people from the list and devote a substantial amount of space within the magazine to the 100 articles about each person on the list. In some cases, over 100 people have been included, as when two people have made the list together, sharing one spot.

The magazine also compiled "[[Time's List of the 100 Best Novels|All-Time 100 best novels]]" and "[[Time's All-Time 100 Movies|All-Time 100 Movies]]" lists in 2005,<ref>{{cite news| title=All-Time 100 Movies| first=Richard| last=Corliss| author-link=Richard Corliss| author2=Schickel, Richard| author2-link=Richard Schickel| magazine=Time| url=http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050524004942/http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/| url-status=dead| archive-date=May 24, 2005| date=February 12, 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| title=Best Soundtracks| magazine=Time| url=http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/0,23220,soundtracks,00.html| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050524015339/http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/0,23220,soundtracks,00.html| url-status=dead| archive-date=May 24, 2005| date=February 12, 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,1068026,00.html| title=That Old Feeling: Secrets of the All-''Time'' 100| first=Richard| last=Corliss| date=June 2, 2005| magazine=Time| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100811185345/http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,1068026,00.html| archive-date=August 11, 2010}}</ref> "The 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time" in 2007,<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1651341_1659192_1652529,00.html| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071028100904/http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1651341_1659192_1652529,00.html| url-status=dead| archive-date=October 28, 2007| title=The 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time| first=James| last=Poniewozik| author-link=James Poniewozik| magazine=Time| date=September 6, 2007}}</ref> and "All-Time 100 Fashion Icons" in 2012.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,2110513,00.html| title=All-Time 100 Fashion Icons| magazine=Time| date=April 2, 2012| access-date=March 30, 2014 |archive-date=November 21, 2019| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191121125821/http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,2110513,00.html| url-status=live}}</ref>

In February 2016, ''Time'' mistakenly included the male author [[Evelyn Waugh]] on its "100 Most Read Female Writers in College Classes" list (he was 97th on the list). The error created much media attention and concerns about the level of basic education among the magazine's staff.<ref name=waugh>{{cite web| url=http://www.inquisitr.com/2828207/evelyn-waugh-time/| website=[[Inquisitr]]| title=Evelyn Waugh: 'Time' Names Male Writer In List Of '100 Most Read Female Authors'| first=Jennifer| last=Deutschmann| date=February 25, 2016| access-date=February 26, 2016| archive-date=March 1, 2020| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301175240/https://www.inquisitr.com/2828207/evelyn-waugh-time/| url-status=live}}</ref> ''Time'' later issued a retraction.<ref name=waugh/>  In a [[BBC]] interview with [[Justin Webb]], Professor [[Valentine Cunningham]] of [[Corpus Christi College, Oxford]], described the mistake as "a piece of profound ignorance on the part of ''Time'' magazine".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/av/entertainment-arts-35667540/time-magazine-correction-evelyn-waugh-was-not-a-woman |title=Time magazine correction: Evelyn Waugh was not a woman |date=February 26, 2016 |work=[[BBC News]] |access-date=July 21, 2018 |archive-date=September 30, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180930112226/https://www.bbc.com/news/av/entertainment-arts-35667540/time-magazine-correction-evelyn-waugh-was-not-a-woman |url-status=live}}</ref>
