Instagram released its "2017 Year in Review" and somehow, someway Beyonce is not the most followed celebrity on the popular photo app. With 108 million followers, the Grammy-winning icon placed fourth on a top 10 list behind vocal powerhouse and social media favorite Ariana Grande, and forever shirtless soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. Back on the music scene after a kidney transplant, Selena Gomez placed first on the list with over 130 million followers.
Beyonce did have the single post with the highest number of likes though, a photo showing her pregnant with twins.
The lists were compiled using data from 800 million users between Jan. 1 and Nov. 29. The 2017 Review included top 10 lists for everything from "most-liked posts" to "top hashtags."
