Wavo Analysis

The most popular artist Instagram accounts remain similar week-over-week, but their ranking typically changes due to music, press, and other social activities. For example, Dua Lipa recovered from a loss in Followers last week due to her new single, gaining over 150,000 new IG fans and landing in the 9th spot.
Cardi B has maintained her top spot for two weeks now, largely in part to her outspoken online presence, active release schedule, and role as a judge on the Netflix reality series "Rhythm + Flow." She's the 36th most-followed Instagram account in the world.
Cardi B is trailed closely by Camila Cabello, who had the most-streamed song on Spotify this past summer ("Señorita"). The two artists featured on the same Ed Sheeran song "South of the Border," also released this past summer.
