Nothing gets Twitter in sync quite like a holiday, especially one that’s celebrated the world over. Easter (and its related observations) took the crown on this week’s list of top trends list.
The Bieb is back this week as well. The addition of his 9 millionth follower (which, for those keeping score at home, is roughly 9 million more followers than I have) prompted an outpouring of Twitter fandom, and kept the boy wonder’s name in the top trends for another week, this time coming in at number two.
And of course, the Royal Wedding took a large chunk of the social buzz, coming in at number three on our list. This aggregate cuts off on Thursday, so we expect to see the wedding at the top of next week’s list, which will incorporate trends from the day of the big event.
To see the full list, check out the chart below. Because this is a topical list, hashtag memes and games have been omitted from the chart. The aggregate is based on Twitter’s own trending algorithm, and does not necessarily reflect raw tweet volume.
