Default Justin Bieber toppled as most-followed Twitter [read now for overused Britney gifs!!]
Quote:

Katy Perry has become the most popular Twitter user in the world, deposing Justin Bieber as the top account on the social network.

Perry now has just over 46.5 million followers on Twitter to Bieber's 46.49 million, ending his nine-month reign as the most-followed user on the service. The buzz around her new album Prism is the main reason for Perry's current social surge.

Musician remain some of the most popular users on Twitter, accounting for four of the five most-followed accounts. Lady Gaga's 40.4 million followers puts her third, having spent three years as the biggest Twitter star before being overtaken by Bieber in January this year.

Taylor Swift's 36.25 million followers puts her fifth on the chart, with only US president Barack Obama breaking up the top five with his 39.27 million followers.

It's a far cry from the days in 2009 when Britney Spears, actor Ashton Kutcher and CNN were battling to become the first Twitter account with more than 1 million followers – a race won by Kutcher.

Perry recently talked about her social media strategy, telling USA Today that "I've learned how to ride social media ... I feel like I've learned how to tame that social media dragon" before giving fellow stars advice on how to follow suit.

"When you decide to have a glass of wine, put the phone down. Don't drink and tweet. Don't be self-indulgent. Don't use it just to promote yourself. That's boring."

Perry's Twitter success is matched on Facebook, but she's not the most popular star on that social network, despite her official page having accumulated 59.25 million likes – ahead of Bieber's 57.27 million, but behind Gaga's 60.35m.

I don't get posts like this, is it meant to be funny? Or are you a massive Justin Bieber and trying to downplay that Katy could be more popular on social networking?

It means I think Justin Bieber will more than likely be back at the top soon.

man I used to feel sorry for Bieber because I thought he was just a kid doing what he loves, why such intense hate, but lately he really has been acting like a dick. Watch who you hang with Biebs and stay away from drugs it is going to be your downfall

NIt got Number 1 in USA, UK, Austrsalia, Canada, Irreland, New Zealand & Scottland, It was also her largest first week sales of any album, and could be on track to be her largest selling album if her singles go as well as they did for Teenage Dream (doubtfull)

It also had the second largest first week sales in USA of the year, and largest female sales of the year (beat Miley)

It's the highest first week sales of a female since Maddona's 'MDNA'

Lots of Justin fans probably un-followed because he spat on most of them

286,000 which, for a first week for an album with such a massive song such as roar, is pretty underwhelming, just over 50k in the UK too which is dismal

It's actually like 90,000, which is not major at all and absolutely dismal compared to BTW. Oh and she can't even get a #1. Plus her boyfriend and manager dumped her
