I am mostly surprised by the singers.
I know it's not something new as few years back, it was reported that Rihanna's record label had bought Facebook likes. Do you think singers and labels are going too far trying to compete with one another?

And naturally the more followers you get, the more fake accounts will follow you. Also, what's to say the accounts aren't just people who signed up and only used it once or only use it to get updates from whoever?
It doesn't surprise me that the Twitter account itself has a lot of fake followers.
The report above separates the inactive followers from the fake followers.
MTV have added the new category 'Most shared- Worthy Video'. For your vote to be counted you have to share the MTV link on twitter. So far 1D have been beating Bieber for most of the time. Even when Bieber has been at the #1 spot, he's not leading by a great amount, which isn't what you would expect as he has 27 million followers and when 1D only have 6 million followers on twitter so he should've easily defeated them. So that means that a lot more 1D fans have been voting and sharing the link on twitter in comparison to the beliebers.

that isn't all too surprising. biber hasnt even sold close to 27 million albums, how could there be 27 million people out there that follow him, especially with the hate he gets. gaga as well. her fans are crazy, but almost 30 million of them? there is no way.
Yeah I know it shouldn't be that surprising, but I really expected him to be a lot bigger than 1D. It's really shocking that in reality he has the same number of fans as 1D when he's been around longer :eek:
I couldn't agree with you more. Obviously most of those accounts are fake as neither Bieber of Gaga have sold anywhere near 27 or 30 million.
I think it isn't that they have more, it's that they have the exact same fan base. When the next thing comes along teenage girls tend to go with what's hot and new. Before Bieber fans were bieber fans, they were obsessed with the Jonas brothers. Now they have to split their love between Bieber, 1D, and Big Time Rush. 1D are the newest so they are bound to come out on top. It really has nothing to do with their music or videos. I don't like Justin Bieber, but the kid did well on his new album. The girls just aren't as interested because there is something new.
It's forbes. They are pretty legit.
Media doing their research, as per.
It wouldn't surprise me if they do it on youtube as well
