Show's cast is named No. 1 because of its cultural influences.

The cast of the ABC hit, Grey's Anatomy, topped this year's Entertainment Weekly list of top entertainers, because of their cultural impact, according to Reuters.

The issue hits newsstands on Friday and has the top entertainers in movies, music, television, and other categories.

Grey's topped the list, not only for their 20 million viewers a week, but because the situations sparked chatter around schools and offices, according to the magazine.

"Grey's isn't just a show, it's a phenomenon," said Entertainment Weekly Executive Editor, Lori Majewski, according to Reuters.

"Back in May when last season's final show aired, every place in New York City was empty. You could get a table at the best restaurants."

YouTube, the user-video website, also made the magazine's list. Sacha Baron Cohen, Justin Timberlake, and Helen Mirren also made the list, according to Reuters.
