Lady Gaga has become the "queen of twitter" - with more followers than anyone else.
The 'Alejandro' singer has overtaken Britney Spears by 34,000 followers after attracting a staggering 5,735,554 people to her page compared to 5,701,236.
Gaga has now posted a video link on her twitter account thanking fans for making her the most popular person on the micro-blogging site.
Addressing her fans as her "little monsters", the pop star - who appears in a makeshift crown with a twitter logo on it and waves a magic wand in the video - says: "Hello world, this is Lady Gaga, queen of twitter. I wanted to thank all my beautiful little monsters for following me. Thank you for beginning my reign as twitter queen. I vow to always tweet and tweet again."
The piece was shot backstage at a concert in Tacoma, Washington. The 24-year-old singer is currently on the North American leg of her 'Monster Ball Tour'.
Gaga currently picks up new followers on twitter at an average of around 171,000 a week, according to website famecount.com which analysed the data.
Other popular tweeters include actor Ashton Kutcher and musician Taylor Swift, who both have over 3 million followers each.
