In short, it is because leading corporate sponsors, including Banco Bradesco and Rede Globo, lobbied to have the statue voted into the new top seven.
Christ the Redeemer was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on July 7th, 2007 by The New Open World Corporation.
It is considered the second largest Art Deco statue in the world and is located at the peak of the Corcovado mountain. It is am impressive statue and symbol of Christianity. Of course a list of seven wonders of the world is highly subjective but this statue is impressive and in my opinion worthy of its status as a wonder.
