In 2016, there was only one queen of Instagram.
That’s singer Selena Gomez, who despite taking a 14-week break from social media this year, dominated the top five most-liked posts on the social media platform.
Her most-liked photo had 5.9 million likes and was actually an ad (notice the bottle of Coke). That’s only a relative drop in the ocean when it comes to the singer’s followers, however.
She has in excess of 103 million of them.
Gomez followers eclipse best friend Taylor Swift (93.6 million followers), Beyonce (88.9 million followers) and Kylie and Kendall Jenner (79.5 million and 68.9 million followers, respectively) to round out the site’s most popular celebrities.
The only men who featured in the top 10 most-followed celebrities of 2016 were soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo (82.3 million followers) and Dwayne Johnson (71 million followers).
Here are the top five most liked posts, every single one of them featuring you-know-who.
