Artists with the Most Facebook Likes and Twitter Followers

Below is a table I compiled of selected Canadian recording artists with the number of followers on Twitter and “Likes” on their Facebook page. Not all recording artists have an official Twitter account and I imagine that Twitter (and Facebook) are more popular with younger fans. Also, some recording artists who have not been active for a while may not have picked up as many of their fans on the net. Obviously, artists with an international following will have higher numbers than those who are popular mainly within Canada. So be careful how you interpret all this data. It simply gives a general idea of some of the more popular Canadian artists currently.
