We wrote about Disney’s move to sell tickets to “Toy Story 3” right on Facebook recently. Musicians made up about half of the list. Michael Jackson took fourth place with 1 million new fans and 14.6 million total.

Shakira came in at 14, adding 661,300 fans to reach 3.7 on Facebook; this was partly due to the fact that she’s the singer of the World Cup anthem and videos of the accompanying dance have been popular on YouTube.

Finally, French musician David Guetta added 586,000 fans to 4.1 million to take number 19 on the list this week; his next album is being heavily marketed in the U.S. and comes out in August. A few big brands were on the list this week. Facebook in fifth place, adding 1 million fans to reach 11.4 million. Then came Starbucks at number 11, adding 729,500 fans to surpass 9 million, perhaps partially due to the introduction of a new instant iced coffee product. Red Bull followed in twelfth place, adding 712,300 fans, now with 5.3 million, mostly with sports updates. Television shows and public figures rounded out the list. “Family Guy” came in sixth place, adding 908,900 fans, accumulating a total of 10.6 million with only one update promoting the show’s iPhone app. “House” was tenth this week, adding 764,200 fans to grow to 8.4 million, most recently updating Facebook with news of the upcoming season’s plot. Then there was Vin Diesel in seventh place, adding 897,600 fans to pass 10 million. President Barack Obama at number 17, adding 595,300 fans to come to 9.8 million and Megan Fox at 18, who added 591,700 fans to grow to 8.3 million. This week it took between 583,723 and 1.18 million fans to gain admission to the Top 20 Facebook Pages, a rather high bar, considering we don’t usually see millions of users added in a single week.
