For a young star who has historically had a difficult past with social media—taking hiatuses for mental health reasons—Selena Gomez has maintained the most loyal stream of followers on Instagram, topping the list again this year. Whether it's the rare romantic selfie with now ex Abel Tesfaye AKA The Weeknd or a photo of her snacking on pizza post-performance, she continues to give her fans adorable sneak peeks into her private life—and a ton of fashion inspo as the brand ambassador of Coach.

2017 was a rough year for Grande after the Manchester bombing at her concert, though she continues to remain on the list of top 10 most-followed with frequent vacation selfies and photos with boyfriend Mac Miller. Ironically, she hasn't posted any new Instagrams yet this year.

The 26-year-old Brazilian professional soccer player made his professional debut at 17, and now plays as a forward on the Brazilian national team. Between his topless snow selfies, professional shots on the field, and insanely cute pictures with his family, it's easy to see why so many people want to watch his every move.

10. Justin Bieber: 104 Million Followers

Instagram

From his hugging campaign last year to his esoteric captions, the mystery that is Justin Bieber just keeps evolving, and people can't stop tuning in. This year, the pop star sank down a spot on the top 10 Instagram list, who used to beat out "The Rock" and former flame Kendall Jenner in followers for the #8 slot. Now, he's finding his spirituality while happily dating Selena Gomez—and they can't get enough of each other.

Honorable Mention: 

11. Kendall Jenner: 102 Million Followers

Instagram

It wouldn't feel right if we left Jenner off the list—just 2.1 million followers short from Neymar Jr. After her whole Pepsi fiasco last year, it took fans a while to recover from the controversial ad, but they're clearly still very much a fan of the model.
