MUMBAI: London based social media metrics company, Famecount, today unveiled a brand new Music Chart, ranking the world’s leading and fastest growing music stars based on their social media popularity.
Famecount listed the Top 10 Global Music Stars, and not surprisingly, Lady Gaga topped the chart with a following of 8.9 million Facebook fans, 4.6 million Twitter followers, and 307,410 YouTube subscribers.
Lady Gaga’s combined fanbase across Facebook, Twitter and YouTube makes her not only the world’s most popular music star, but also the most followed global social media entity across any genre, including consumer brands. The 24-year-old has seen her online popularity surge in recent weeks, and overtook Barack Obama as the world’s most popular social media figure at the end of June.
