BTS Army … you did it! According to year-end data from Twitter, BTS is 2018’s most tweeted-about celebrity which makes this their second year at the top of the list.  And BTS member Jimin is Twitter’s eighth most tweeted-about celebrity in the U.S. (and he doesn’t even have Twitter!)

 

According to Billboard, “BTS, who have 17.2 million followers currently, were also the most tweeted-about musicians in the U.S. and globally had the most liked tweet of 2018 — their video for Drake’s #InMyFeelingsChallenge posted on July 23 amassed over 1.6 million likes and over 13.7 million views.”

 

 

And that’s not all!

  • The most used hashtag (globally) – #NowPlaying
  • The day with the most tweets – the Olympics closing ceremony
  • And more than 500 million GIFs were tweeted in 2018 which, according to Billboard, “An average of 1.6 million/day, or over 1,000/minute.”

 

 

And one of Lady Gaga’s old tweets from 2012 somehow found its way back on Twitter for 2018, making it the third most quoted tweet globally.  What’s so special about this tweet? Apparently, it was a way of Lady Gaga expressing excitement and/or frustration #LOL.
