Beyonce beats Kim Kardashian to 30million Instagram followers landmark

Beyonce has become the first person to get 30-million-followers on Instagram.

Despite sharing a mere 981 photos and following no-one, Beyonce beat Kim Kardashian to reach the milestone.

Beyonce's account is technically the second most followed on the platform overall. The top profile is actually Instagram's own company one, which has over 63 million followers. However Beyonce is the most followed human being.

Predominantly consisting of photos of the star posing on holiday, in art galleries, on tour, and occasionally with her husband and daughter, Beyoncé's account doesn't generally include many captions or interactions with fans.

She is closely followed by Kim Kardashian, who has 29.9 million followers and Ariana Grande, who has 28.9 million. Top 10 Instagram Profiles (correct at time of writing)
