Top 20 Gaining Facebook Pages: YouTube, Eminem, Shakira and “The Simpsons”

We had a few big name brands, a handful of TV and movie Pages and lots of musicians on our list of Top 20 Gaining Facebook Pages this week. Music Pages made up more than half of the list, leaving little room for brands and media to slip their way in — although nothing can seem to deter Megan Fox’s presence on the list. Our list is compiled by our PageData tool, which counts the number of Likes a Page receives each day; it took between 1.4 million and 774,000 new Likes to make the list this week.

Oreo 11,681,137 +773,932 +7.10 First was Facebook’s Page this week. It added 1.4 million Likes, grew to 22.8 million and posted about Skype, Bing and privacy issues. YouTube came in second, adding 1.4 million Likes to come in just under 17 million. Coca-Cola was in sixth place, adding 1 million Likes to reach 14.5 million with its basic marketing on the Wall. Finally, Oreo rounded out the list at 20 after adding 774,000 Likes to pass 11.6 million; the company is running a contest with celebrity athletes and coupons. The short list of media Pages started with “The Simpsons” in fourth place after adding 1 million Likes to grow to 10.2 million. Next was “South Park” at number 8, which added 932,000 Likes to push 15.3 million. Starlet Megan Fox’s Page landed number 13 without much marketing efforts, adding 822,700 Likes to her 15.5 total. “Family Guy” was next at fourteenth, adding 822,000 Likes to hit 19.5 million. The Harry Potter movie Page was next, adding 793,100 to its 4.3 million fan base; the Page has been promoting the release of the series’ next installment later this year. All the TV shows promoted and posted episodes on their Page Walls. As previously mentioned, music Page dominated our list this week, taking 11 of the total 20 spots. Eminem was in third place, adding 1.3 million Likes to jump up to 17.1 million total. Rihanna was fifth, adding 1 million fans to the 11.7 million on her Page, which included an interesting landing tab that combined YouTube videos, music players and photo slideshows. Lady Gaga’s Page was in seventh place, adding 973,200 Likes to surpass 20.8 million fans. The songstress’ position on the list has been waning in recent weeks, perhaps she’s hit a plateau; if the trend continues she might end up dropping off our list of fastest growing Pages. She’s been promoting her awards nominations and work on a new album on her Wall. Linkin Park was next at number 9, adding 930,300 Likes to the band’s 14.8 million total; the band has been posting pictures from rehearsals, selling merchandise and featuring its songs and videos on the Page’s landing tab. Pop star Katy Perry was next in line at tenth place, adding 899,700 Likes to jump to 11 million fans; she’s been on tour, in magazines and has been nominated for awards. Bob Marley’s Page followed at number 11 with the Page adding 877,700 Likes to reach 12.5 million mostly by posting fan-generated content. Shakira was in twelfth place, adding 847,300 Likes to come in just under 11 million fans; the Page has been streaming her upcoming album before it hits stores. She’s also been promoting her Page by making a video specifically for fans and appearing on TV shows. Michael Jackson’s Page took fifteenth place after adding 797,600 Likes to bust 22 million fans, even though the Page mostly just promotes merchandise. Rounding out the list of musicians was Lil Wayne at 16, who added 796,800 Likes to make a total of 13.8 million; he’s been promoting his new album and writing fans from jail. Akon was at 18 after adding 780,900 Likes to his Page. Finally, Usher at number 19 added 776,400 Likes to reach 5.3 million total fans; he’s been touring and giving away tickets on his Wall.
