I discussed this in another thread. In my mind, there's a critical mass of people- a certain demographic- that will be invested in online pop culture as a whole. In simple SYG terms, the people who would be
going to like Gaga are doing it already. I'd write more on it but there's only going to be one-liners replying to this through stan rose-coloured glasses so there's little point.
Put in simple terms, there's so much more people and many many more fish in this sea of online pop culture that the other girls can fish from that Gaga already hasn't got. Gaga and Bieber and a few others set the tone for social media being a integral part of one's success and the rest are catching up. That's why Gaga is double Britney, Katy, Rihanna etc on Facebook followers.
I've got plenty of bones to pick about the Social 50 stan goggles aside, but the fact that it only tracks new additions and totally ignores the existing fanbase is probably a major one.
