AlDub Makes History, Beats Pope Francis on Twitter Popularity

It looks like AlDub have more fans than Pope Francis, not only in the Philippines, but around the world according to Twitter.

According to report released by Philstar.ph, the 3.5 million tweets on August 29 dwarfed Pope Francis’ 3.3 million tweets on January – the highest so far. As of September 5, AlDub has already 5.7 million tweets.

AlDub is truly a phenomenon breaking TV ratings records and expensive commercial slots especially during Saturdays when people are resting in their homes.

The fan-nomenon around the Aldub loveteam between GMA 7 talent Alden Richards and YouTube sensation Maine Mendoza, aka Yaya Dub, has seen no equal to date.

The tandem continues to attract more viewers’ attention, not only in the Philippines, but also in countries with many OFWs, especially in Middles East and USA.

Rival stations are having difficulty on how to counter the popularity of the first ever Kalye Serye that became a phenomenon for several weeks now.
