Life is just a big popularity contest.

Today it was widely reported that Lady Gaga had officially amassed 15 million Twitter followers. Word was that Mother Monster set a personal best by collecting a million followers in just 27 days. So... she's the most popular person on that site.

Also today came news that The Bieb has surpassed a landmark 2 billion YouTube views. 2 BILLION.

According to Famecount, Bieber is the first person to reach the huge number on his official YouTube channel. And it looks like the speed is becoming a new thing, as Gossip Cop makes a note of pointing out that 94 million of those views were collected in the past month.

In October 2010, Gaga became the first artist to get to the billion mark, but Bieber has since passed her.

While Gaga is winning on Facebook and Biebs holds the YouTube crown, Eminem has the most  Facebook fans, with more than 48 million.
