ALL BOW TO THE QUEEN

Twitter a social networking and micro-blogging based on text-messaging service launched in May, 2008 and Britney has 4,926,476 followers to date compared to Ashton Kutcher 4,922,689. It looks like the 5-6 million followers are achievable for Spears.

BUT her reign might be short-lived as Lady GaGa could overtake her in the next few months

If the Britney Vs Ashton battle wasn't exciting enough get a load of this.

According to new data - which hit our inbox this morning courtesy of Famecount - Lady Gaga could easily outdo both Ashton and Britney Spears to be crowned Twitter's number one.
Last week we reported that Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher were head-to-head in the race to hit 5 million followers. Britney Spears currently has 4,908,674 million Twitter followers, but is growing at a much faster rate - having added 159,891 over the last month alone.

However, if Britney Spears does become top of the Twits, Lady Gaga may steal the pop princess’ crown to become Twitter queen. The emerging star currently has 4,074,517 Twitter followers having added an incredible 1.5 million followers in the last 4 months.

Fame Across Multiple Social Media Channels

In terms of aggregated fame across the entire social Web, Britney is already slightly ahead of Ashton, with 2.9 million Facebook fans, 4.9 million Twitter followers, and 208,000 YouTube subscribers, giving her a Famecount index of 83.7%.

Ashton Kutcher has a Famecount index of 81.7%, with 3.4 million Facebook fans, 4.9 million Twitter followers, but just 10,000 YouTube subscribers.

Lady Gaga is ahead of both stars across the wider social Web with a Famecount index of 97.7%, making her the second most popular social media star in the world after President Obama.

“It’s interesting when you look at the relative tweeting rates of these two stars,” said Daniel Dearlove, Founder of Famecount.com. “Ashton Kutcher has tweeted more than 5,000 times during his time on Twitter and tweets regularly about his life several times throughout the day. Conversely, Britney Spears is much less active – tweeting only occasionally alongside her manager Adam Leber, and having only sent 377 tweets in her entire time on Twitter. It highlights the degree to which loyal fans will follow existing celebrities online just because of their existing notoriety – Britney has built up a following quickly and emphatically.”

She still can't sing, dance, write music, won't do porn, and is a bad mother.

I heard twitter was made from the DNA of Gaga and Bieber

 

[tokkun]

Vapid celebrities rise to top of medium designed for people with short attention spans and nothing to say.

 

[Slavik81]

Wait, Britney Spears is still relevant?

 

[_Isaac]

Where are you quoting the article from? Not that it's that important.

Seriously. It's very rare that I can listen to a whole album all the way through without skipping a track. And BOTH Gaga albums have had me listening.

 

[rvy]

This is somehow important?

 

[Earl Cazone]

This is somehow important?

I think its interesting, so its important to me.

 

[MetalAlien]

I've never tweeted, facebooked, or myspaced. Although I have youtubed and vimeoed all over myself.

[Chamber]

As shocking as Ashton Kutcher still being relevant.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

More shocking than him being relevant. He at least does movies, what has she done recently, aside from become crazy?

 

[FauX]

Why???

No sense at all.

[Slayven]

It is kind of sad some one would sit down and write this article.

 

[enzo_gt]

Lady Gaga invented twitter

Fashion and clothing, too.

Well after she went crazy she had 2 #1 hits and a top #5 hit. Her album sold half a million copies in one week and her tour became the highest grossing tour by a female that year.

I didn't even know she really did anything in the past few years, definitely didn't know about album releases. The only recent song I know of is Womanizer, and even that I've never actually heard before.

 

[Kronotech]

I never understood why Ashton was #1 in Twitter. Why did everyone want to follow him so badly? And now Britney Spears? How in the world do people still care about her?

Wow... I can't believe I care so much.

And this is relevant to the quality of her music how?

 

[soco]

[Vox-Pop]

Huh. I thought her career more or less ended a decade ago.
I guess I'm out of the loop...

...perhaps for the better.
