Lady Gaga’s Facebook Fan count may still lag behind the legendary superstar, Michael Jackson, but her overall social media standing launched her to the top of the charts on the celebrity social media circuit this week.
Lady Gaga’s cumulative social media influence, as measured by the Overdrive50, has reached over 16,800,000 Fans and Followers, officially eclipsing the totals of her closest competitors: Michael Jackson, by over 800,000 Followers, and President Barack Obama, by over 1,800,000 Followers.
On Friday, July 2nd, Gaga outdid the biggest names in entertainment, politics and sports by beating President Barack Obama in a close race to become the first living personality to reach the 10,000,000 Facebook Fan mark. Currently touring North America on her Fame Monster tour, Gaga took time to thank her Facebook fans for propelling her to such unprecedented levels of social media fame.
Gaga rapidly transcended Facebook’s honor, however, by making her way to the top of all things Social Media. With over 11,000,000 Facebook Fans and over 4,800,000 Twitter Followers, Gaga’s influence now reaches an audience of over 16,000,000 social media users.
