The Social Dozen: 12 Country Stars Who Have the Biggest Reach on Social Media

The Social Dozen: 12 Country Stars Who Have the Biggest Reach on Social Media

We thought it would be interesting to crunch a few numbers to see which country stars have the biggest reach on social media.

Taking into account an artist’s total number of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram followers, we compiled a list of the Top 12 country stars with the biggest social media reach. While this total isn’t the be-all and end-all of social media reach, it’s a handy indicator.

It’s also interesting to see the platforms where individual artists excel. For instance, Blake Shelton has—by far—the most Twitter followers, while Carrie Underwood excels on Facebook and Instagram.

Take a look at the results below. [Editor’s note: we tried to be thorough in our search, but it’s possible we unintentionally omitted an artist who should be in the Top 12]
