Swift has snatched perhaps the most significant title - she's the most followed musician on Instagram, followed by Selena Gomez, Beyonce and Ariana Grande. She's only the fifth most popular when it comes to mentions though - she's been beaten in that department by Justin Bieber, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, who took the No.1 spot.
As for the most popular songs - Justin Bieber's topped that one too. Who'd have thought, half a decade after 'Baby', that he'd still have such influence? 'What Do You Mean' is the most mentioned song, shortly followed by Selena Gomez's 'Good For You' and Adele's 'Hello'.
