Though it feels like years, it’s in fact been six months given that we first went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of us have been baking or making TikToks, and, obviously, supporting our cute brand-new puppies and kittens. But face it: A lot of us have just been scrolling Twitter endlessly.
The social media platform has actually been focusing, and on Tuesday (Sept. 15) they released their “Twitter From Home” pattern report, with a list of what we have actually been listening to, seeing and talking about as we wear the cushions on the couch.
Not remarkably, pandemic or not, BTS was the most-tweeted-about artist, getting the No. 1 area on a list that likewise consisted of Kanye West(No. 2), Beyoncé(No. 3), Drake(No. 4), and Megan Thee Stallion(No. 5).
Bey’s No. 2 area was thanks to the viral watch celebrations spawned by the #HOMEcoming unique on Netflix, and after that once again in July when her Black Is King visual album dropped. Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B warmed up the list thanks to Meg’s smash “Savage” and their collab track “WAP,” while Styles made it into the top 10 thanks to his buzzy “Watermelon Sugar” video, with the watermelon emoji up 70 percent over last year.
Some other interesting patterns on the list include:
— 9 of the top 10 most-tweeted-about musical artists are people of color.
— Black Panther and Beyoncé’s Black Is King were the No. 1 and No. 2 movies, with The Last Dance and Tiger King holding down the leading areas on the TELEVISION list. With beauty salons closed, the haircut emoji usage was down 32 percent, but the beard emoji shot up 102 percent.
Check out some of the leading lists (based on tweets from March 1, 2020, to Sept. 1, 2020, in the U.S.)
