While pop superstar Selena Gomez may be taking a break from social media, her loyal fans definitely are not. The "Hands to Myself" singer recently surpassed a massive social media milestone that has never been done before. Gomez now has the 100 million follower mark thanks to a spirited campaign helmed by the Selenators.

Even though 24-year-old Gomez has refrained from posting any pictures in 6 weeks, her number of followers has continued to skyrocket. The last photo she shared was from her now-cancelled Revival tour.

Gomez's break from social media came on the heels of her announcement that she is battling with a case of Lupus-related depression. While Gomez already had the biggest Instagram account, the Selenators made a huge push to get her over the 100 million follower hump by starting the #SelenaBreakTheInternet hashtag in her social media absence.

Not only does Gomez have the most followers of anyone on the social platform, but also she has the "most liked" photo on all of Instagram.

The other queens of Instagram behind Selena Gomez include: Taylor Swift (91.4 million), Beyonce (85.3 million), Ariana Grande (85 million), and Kim Kardashian West (83.6 million).

A spokesperson for Instagram confirmed to Billboard that Selena Gomez is in fact the most-followed person on the social network.
