Four music acts are among the 25 most influential people on the internet, according to a new list by TIME.
Katy Perry, Rihanna, Chance the Rapper, and BTS made the cut, along with the likes of U.S. president Donald Trump, author J.K. Rowling, and Canadian model Gigi Gorgeous.
The third annual TIME list is compiled based on the person’s global impact on social media and overall ability to drive news.
Perry was singled out as the first person to pass 100 million followers on Twitter and credited for her recent promotional 96-hour livestream — “the closest any major entertainer has come to giving fans the kind of ‘real’ intimacy that social media purports to provide.”
TIME said Chance the Rapper’s “mastery of the internet” helped make Coloring Book the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy.
And Korean boy band BTS made the list after overtaking Canada’s Justin Bieber to spend 27 consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Social 50 chart. The group has “managed to cultivate a virtual fanbase that could give the Beyhive a run for its money.”
