JT dethrones Biebs on Social 50
Timberlake Dethrones Bieber From No. 1 on Social 50
The "20/20" star is experiencing the top of the chart thanks to his new album.
Move over Bieber, there's a new Justin in town (again). Concurrent with the release of Justin Timberlake's first album in 6 years, "The 20/20 Experience," the pop star has propelled to the No. 1 position on Billboard's Social 50 chart for the first time.
He first broke the top 3 of the Social 50 the charting week ending on Feb. 23 thanks to the VEVO debut of his video for "Suit and Tie."
The Social 50 chart ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Wikipedia, Myspace and Instagram. The chart's methodology blends weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with artist pageviews, song plays and reactions.
The Tuesday (March 19) Timberlake dropped "20/20 Experience," he also released the official music video for "Mirrors," the album's second single. In the week that followed, the video received over 10 million views which contributed in part to the over 20.3 million total views counted towards Timberlake's Social 50 ranking for the week.
A 3% rise in reaction/engagement on Facebook led to the addition of over 270,000 new fans on the platform (up 58% over the previous week). Timberlake also added 328,000 followers on Twitter (up 7%).
