From No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits to sold-out international tours, Justin Bieber has a lot of impressive achievements on his resume. And as of Thursday morning (Aug. 31), the 23-year-old singer can add another accomplishment to the list: 100 million Twitter followers.

Bieber joins an elite club with this social media milestone, as the only other musician with 100 million Twitter followers is Katy Perry. The next most-followed musicians behind Bieber are Taylor Swift (85.5 million), Rihanna (76.9 mil) and Lady Gaga (69.5 mil), those numbers proving that Bieber's 100 million is a pretty impressive feat.

If the number of followers doesn't impress you, Twitter rounded up some other numbers that might make you a Belieber: The pop superstar has been mentioned more than 2 billion times on the social media outlet, the word Belieber has been tweeted 84 million times, and his most retweeted message has more than 638,000 retweets.


To celebrate Bieber's Twitter following, fans can tweet with the hashtag #100MBeilebers which will unlock a special Bieber emoji.
