All year long, we mere mortals tirelessly snapped, edited, and filtered our photos in the hopes that our selfies might garner a few dozen likes. While that's all good and noble, those paltry numbers are nothing to the Instagram gods who can garner millions of likes with a single post. So, who are these social media deities? None other than singer/actress Selena Gomez and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. These two celebrities alone were responsible for the 10 most-liked Instagram photos of 2016, according to US Weekly.
While Ronaldo puts up a great fight on the field, his soccer prowess was no match for Gomez's star power: she grabbed eight of the ten spots. That's news that should come as no surprise given that one of Gomez's posts surpassed Justin Bieber's top picture back in July, becoming the most-liked photo ever on the platform. What made these photos so compelling? Perhaps fans were riveted by the glimpse into Gomez's personal life, with photos of the singer spending time with a sick fan, performing on stage during her Revival tour, and sharing an un-retouched selfie, all clenching top spots. For Ronaldo, it's possible our love of sports and/or shiny things is apparent; both of his photos include him cozied up with the Euro Cup trophy.
It doesn't hurt that both stars are super hot.
