Selena Gomez Had The Top 5 Instagram Posts of 2016 (And More Year End Data)

For all of Kim Kardashian’s talk of “breaking the internet,” she has not been able to best the appeal of 24 year old starlet Selena Gomez. Instagram just released year end data for the social media platform, and the babyfaced singer/actress/model held the top five spots for most liked Instagram posts in 2016. More depressingly, the most liked post from 2016 was a Coca Cola advertisement.

Selena also had the most Instagram mentions, followed by One Direction, Beyonce, Rihanna and Ariana Grande. Drake is the first hip hop artist on the list at number eight. Wale makes a surprise appearance at number fourteen.

Beyonce’s “Formation” topped songs with the most mentions, while Drake and Rihanna’s “Work” sat at number three. The inescapable “Panda” came it at number 10, but we’re guessing that isn’t counting Panda emojis.
