Bieber now has 40 million followers on Twitter
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 6 June 2013
Whilst it may often seem like Justin Bieber has become something of an arrogant twat since reaching adulthood, you can’t deny that the pallid pop peddler remains as popular as ever.
And having often lagged behind Lady Gaga in the past when it came to passing social media stat landmarks, the Biebster has just become the first person on Twitter to have 40 million followers. Which is basically an online following as big as the population of Argentina. Or more than four times bigger than the population of Sweden.
And even if we assume that automated bots account for a portion of that follower count, that’s still a very impressive/scarily large audience Bieber has a direct line to. And on Tuesday, as he crossed the 40 million point, he used Twitter to post a picture featuring his tweet from 2009 celebrating his 40th follower.
