Justin Bieber's replaced Lady Gaga as the most followed person on Twitter

  • January 22, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Justin-BieberJustin Bieber has become Twitter's most followed person, with his follower count over­tak­ing Lady Gaga's last night.

At the time of writing, Bieber has 33,319,471 to Gaga's 33,318,977, which means a lot of retweets.

On January 15 the 'Marry The Night' hitmaker con­grat­u­lated Bieber on closing the gap — "So proud of @justinbieber and all the Beliebers! I'm only happy to see your fans growing in size, you all deserve it!" — but she's yet to tweet her thoughts now that he's overtaken her.

We're sure the more 'pas­sion­ate' among the 'Little Monsters' are incred­ibly pleased about it all.
