According to the list, Rihanna reigns supreme, wither her 23.8 million Twitter followers and 59.6 million Facebook fans helping her edge out Lady Gaga, who came it at No. 2 with 28 million Twitter followers and 53 million Facebook fans.

The two pop stars are known for salacious tweets and occasional Twitter beefs, but for those looking for this list to stir up bad blood between the two women, think again. Neither singer took note of the ranking—at least not via their social media accounts. 

Gaga was busy plugging her Vogue September issue cover, and Rihanna seemed more concerned with the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards.

Of the 10 on the list, most are musicians, with the magazine theorizing that music stars adopted social media platforms earlier than their film and TV counterparts. Selena Gomez (No. 10) is the only actress on the list, and Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (No. 7) is only athlete to be crowned a social networking superstar.
