They’re smart, talented and have taken their respective lanes by storms, but despite being worlds apart creatively this week has seen Lady GaGa and Nicki Minaj make significant gains on Billboard’s Social 50.
Find out how below…
A ranking of the most active artists on the world’s leading social networking site, the week on week chart tally also counts the number of ‘friend requests’, song plays and page views to rank the acts according to their popularity that week.
This week, Lady GaGa rises 8 spots to #10, perhaps as a result of her forthcoming North American leg of her ‘Born This Way Ball’ Tour- which arrives January 11th.
Her rise was also helped in part by her ‘Born Brave’ announcement, which saw her reveal that she will provide free mental health counselling to her ‘Monsters’ during the sold tour, in association with her Harvard University backed ‘Born This Way Foundation‘. As a result of this, the singer gained a cool 112,000 new Facebook fans, pushing conversations related to the star on the site by 18% while her overall YouTube and VEVO plays soared by 11%.
Meanwhile, ‘Masquerade‘ Rapper Minaj jumps 4 spots to #6 as momentum for her ‘American Idol’ debut intensifies.
Ironic, considering her lengthy hiatus from Twitter, which came to an end last night days before ‘Idol‘ hits FOX, January 16th, but hours after she extended her lead as the world’s fastest selling Female Rapper, following chart records broken in the UK.
Her rise also came as a result of the hype garnered around her NYE gig at Las Vegas’ ‘PURE‘, while her infectious number ‘Va Va Voom‘ spent its 10th week on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart.

whats the point in being one of the most “socially popular” people if your album cant push platinum?
yeah it just shows that the black/broke community dont buy anything like yourself but there quick to chat & hate (socially). but at least your doing something good out of it. TEAM NICKI !!
i buy albums which are GOOD. im not here for sell-out artists who abandon their original fanbase for money.
oh okay so why you bothered about her if you don’t like her music… keep an eye on your faves honey. its called branding not selling out. music is there job and they have to work to get there money some way or another. theres dangerously in love, bday, sasha fierce and 4 its not a bad thing to change your music genre as the queen bee has mixed it up too.
go back to 2012 or in the 90s since obviously dont know how to keep up. so keep out
