Jennifer Lopez leaps into the top 30 of Billboard’s Social 50 chart, climbing 38-29, thanks to buzz generated by her TV commercial with Fiat, a new music video, and a red-hot performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
During ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” telecast on Sept. 12, a 30-second ad ran, which featured scenes from her video for the single “Papi,” which then debuted on YouTube on Sept. 19.

For the 10th week in a row, Justin Bieber sits at No. 1. Aside from just being the Biebs, the star didn’t do anything too remarkable — aside from reveal new potential collaborations for his soon-to-be-released Christmas album “Under the Mistletoe,” which include the Band Perry and Usher.
He also posted on Facebook about a web campaign called “Hearts Across The Web,” asking fans to create a digital heart-chain, in an effort to help him raise awareness for Pencils of Promise, a non-profit that builds schools throughout the world. If 500,000 fans join in, Give Back Brands, who he has partnered with to make his fragrance “Someday,” will help to build more than 50 schools globally.
During the tracking week, Bieber added 343,000 new fans — across all monitored social networks — that helped in playing his songs and watching his music videos 14.5 million times.
Katy Perry had a nice 8-5 leap this week, which can be partially attributed to her appearance on the cover of In Style magazine and a promotion with Schick Quattro for Women.

When taken together, these events helped Perry add 404,000 fans across all monitored social networks, with Facebook seeing the largest gain at 162,000 fans. Her plays actually fell down to 11.9 million this week, having ranked in 12.4 plays last week. Meanwhile, her YouTube profile views climbed from 82,000 to 101,000 week-to-week, though no new videos are featured in it.
Brazilian country stars Joao Bosco & Vinicius debut on the tally at No. 39, with success of their video for their latest single “Tarde Demais.” Since being uploaded to YouTube on Sept. 15, it has raked in 730,000 views.
