01 · Manifesto

We don't vote.
We don't judge.
We count.
An award without a jury. MVP measures one concrete thing: how many people have chosen to follow someone. We measure it in every country, every city and every category, so every scene gets its own podium.

“Real followers, verifiable data. Not a single made-up number.”

Our rule

02 · The podiums

One world ranking, seven continents and regions, and within them every country and every city.

03 · The No. 1s

Every podium,
one winner.

The most followed profile in the world and in each region. If a No. 1 already appears on another podium, we show the next one. Tap to see the full ranking.
