Banks has now led the chart, based on data from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus, for three weeks in all.

Tyra Banks returns to the summit of The Hollywood Reporter’s Top TV Personalities chart, reigning for a third nonconsecutive week in all.
The Top TV Personalities chart is a ranking of the most popular TV personalities on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus, with global data provided by social media analytics company MVPindex. The chart’s methodology blends social engagement on the platforms along with weekly additions of followers/subscribers. TV personalities are defined here as performers primarily known for their appearances on their own TV series, including hosts of entertainment/news shows. The latest tracking week ended July 25.
Along with Banks’ Top TV Personalities leap, Jimmy Kimmel, Jeremy Clarkson and Steve Harvey find their way back onto the 10-position chart.
