IGTV Views
The most popular kid in your or your son’s/daughter’s high school probably has or had up to 10 or 20 thousand followers on Instagram. They might be the most popular people in your local environment but in terms of having most followers on all of Instagram – they’re small time.
The most popular influencers have way over 100 million followers. They have so many Instagram followers, in fact, that if the number indicated a population of a nation, the most followed personal account would be the fourth most populous state in the world. Without further ado, here are the 10 most popular accounts on Instagram as of September 2020.
Notes: We will exclude @Instagram with over 350 million followers because it’s not really fair. The list is always changing and is only accurate as of September of 2020.
