Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Taylor Swift Among Most-Discussed Entertainers of 2014 on Facebook

If it felt like your Facebook friends wouldn’t shut up about Beyoncé this year, well, you were right. Today (Dec. 9), Facebook announced its most-discussed topics and people of the year, and the “7/11” singer topped the list, continuing her reign of pop culture dominance.

Beyoncé was the most talked-about entertainer in the United States for 2014 on Facebook, according to Variety. Thanks to her late 2013 release of Beyoncé, her highly publicized tour with Jay Z, those divorce rumors, her “***Flawless”-ness and everyone’s obsession with her, Bey easily topped Facebook’s list.

Of course, Bey wasn’t the only singer. Of the top 10 entertainers discussed on the social media site, eight of them were musicians. “Happy” singer and The Voice coach Pharrell Williams clocked in at No. 2. Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry and Pitbull all also cracked the top 10.

The two non-musicians on the entertainers list also have musical ties. The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, who often produces viral videos with musical acts, came in at No. 5 and Mrs. Kanye West, Kim Kardashian was the 10th most-discussed celebrity.
