Lady Gaga is now the queen of Twitter

Popular singer Lady Gaga has overtaken Britney Spears as the "queen" of Twitter, becoming the most followed person on the micro-blogging site.

Gaga passed Britney and now has 5.74 million followers.



The eclectic artist just became the first person to have 10 million fans on Facebook, the social networking giant.

Lady Gaga moved to the title after adding 700,000 new followers in the last month alone.

Spears surpassed Ashton Kutcher in May, lasting just three months at the top.

Famecount, a social media-tracking site, says Lady Gaga may not stay at the top for long, as teen sensation Justin Bieber is adding 800,000 new followers every month.

  When she gives all of her followers a "new car" then i'll give a damn.

  Twitter is for those that try to live vicariously through others specifically celebrities and have no real life of their own and I think Twits is a fitting name. So Lady GaGa being the queen of the twits is also fitting.

  Lady Gaga and Twitter. Two utterly pointless things. Can't believe i've even wasted seconds of my life typing that.
