All five women were the top-followed Instagram accounts last year as well, but the order shifted as Kardashian dropped from second to fifth.

“Same Old Love” singer Gomez, 24, also had the most-liked celebrity photo and video on Instagram, and was the most-mentioned artist on the social media network.

‘Hip hop’ was the most-buzzed about U.S. music hashtag during the year on Instagram, and key top moments included tributes pouring in for David Bowie after he died in January, and fans mourning Prince after his sudden death in April.
