The Best of the Best on Instagram in 2017
Instagram looks back on 2017, revealing the top people, places, and posts of the year. The leaders in most categories are no surprise, with the likes of Beyoncé and the Kardashian/Jenner clan stealing spots on multiple lists. It's worth noting that Selena Gomez grabs 5 out of 10 of the most-liked posts and that the others feature babies—not to rush things, but just imagine the data when the singer has a baby of her own. Also, somewhat surprisingly, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is 8th on the list for most followers, beating out Kendall Jenner and Justin Bieber, damn. Oh, and LeLe Pons, a YouTube personality, has the most-viewed Instagram Story feed in the world.
