2019 was a banner year for the K-Pop band BTS, actor Tom Holland, and a brown egg — at least on Twitter.
The social media network has released its annual Year on Twitter report, which features the most talked-about politicians, movies, actors and athletes in the Twitterverse for the year. While some of the results are unsurprising — President Trump was the most-tweeted-about politician, followed by Barack Obama — but others are downright odd.
The most retweeted tweet was from the World Record Egg, which beat out a BTS boyband member dancing — and a tweet by user @Aman9919, labeled “Watch at your Own Risk,” which featured a group of college students being terrorized by a bird.
Meanwhile, the most-used emoji was the laugh-till-you-cry emoji (beating out the sobbing emoji). The most popular news-related hashtag was #NotreDame (which beat out #Venezuela, #Brexit and #HongKong) and Tom Holland was the most-tweeted-about actor — most likely due to his role in the MCU-Sony Spider-Man deal as well as his star turn in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (the fourth most-tweeted-about movie of the year).
