Lady Gaga set to break 10 million Facebook record

Lady Gaga is set to become the first living person to achieve 10m fans on Facebook or, indeed, on any single social network.

Lady Gaga overtook Barack Obama as the most popular living person on Facebook on 25th June. Only five entities, none of them living people, now have more Facebook fans than Lady Gaga, including the late Michael Jackson, and Facebook itself.

As well as becoming the most popular living person, Lady Gaga remains the fastest growing star on Facebook, adding 1.9m fans last month alone, and finding over 140,000 new fans each day. Even with World Cup fever at its peak, Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could not equal the queen of pop's fan-pulling power.
