Over a quarter million tweets. That's how many it took for AlDub to rocket to the top of the Twitter charts, besting even some of the US' most tweeted events for the year.
Last Saturday, 26 September, a total of 25,652,800 Tweets used the hashtag #ALDubEBforLOVE from 12:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The number of Tweets peaked from 1:00-2:00 PM.
It’s hard not to notice that AlDub-related hashtags are almost always among the top trending hashtags on Twitter, but thanks to Twitter users ALDUB STATISTICS (@ineffable888) and Jerick Carlo Almeda (@pagkalaagan), we can take a closer look at the hard numbers that illustrate just how popular the KalyeSerye pairing is.
AlDub versus the world
AlDub-related Tweets have consistently outnumbered Tweets related to Showtime, the corresponding primetime show of GMA’s rival network.
In this case, however, "popular" is a gross understatement. The love team has managed to beat even the more tweet-savvy US at its own Twitter game.
In terms of the absolute number of Twitter users, the US leads the world by a very large margin, according to Sysomos research.
Despite this, AlDub outdid the Super Bowl XLIX and the Video Music Awards—both of which were the US' most-tweeted events in the past year, with 25.1 million and 21.4 million tweets, respectively.
Needless to say, #ALDubEBforLOVE also easily outdid the performance of the previous “big three” AlDub hashtags for the month of September 2015. #ALDubEBforLOVE easily outranked #ALDUBMostAwaitedDate (12,125,300 Tweets on 19 September) and #ALDUBTheAbduction (6,409,500 on 12 September).
