Vine, the social media platform for creating and sharing short video loops, is one of the hottest growing social media trends right now. Here’s a look at the top 10 Viners from the last 30 days based on new followers. Which up-and-coming Vine stars continue to grown in popularity in 2015, and whose careers will fizzle and burn before the year is out? We’ve got a few ideas.
No 1: King Of The Hill
At the top of the heap this month we have KingBach coming in with 624,567 new followers. Arguably best known for his infamous #ButThatBackFlipTho Vine, KingBach brings us comedic stylings with a street sensibility that even Grandma can enjoy … if she’s OK with occasional cursing.
No. 2: School Is Hard
No. 2 on our list is Lele Pons with 488,666 new followers. LeLe brings us a lot of slapstick comedy, and with it, the relief that high school (for some of us), is over and we never ever have to go back. Ever.
No. 3: Hey Piano Man
Rudy Mancuso comes to us at No. 3 with 450,714 new followers. Rudy may clown around frequently with his friend and fellow Viner, King Bach, but he also knows how to bang out a tune on various instruments which his Vines demonstrate.
No. 4: Farts + Close up = Success for LIFE
JAY VERSACE, who is not afraid of ALL CAPS or close-up selfie videos, is in 4th place with 441,653 new followers. While other Viners are building their shorts around a concept, JAY is building his around the fact that his farts smell like iPhone chargers. It’s working out well—because, let’s face it—nothing is funnier than flatulence.
No. 5: That One Kid From Some Nickelodeon Show Or Whatever
Halfway between being incredibly awesome and kinda mediocre, we arrive at Josh Peck at No. 5. Josh, who is quick to point out that he’s real famous vs. Vine famous, models his comedy closer to that of his friends LeLe Pons and KingBach. Real famous or not, Josh is pretty funny and more importantly, allows other people hold the camera from time to time. JAY, are you taking notes?
No. 6: And Now For A Word From Our Sponsors
Oddly enough Vine itself comes in at number 6 with 427,493 new followers. More like a looping vlog for its business, Vine’s Vines provide news about new features, people dancing poorly in settings where dancing is uncalled for and musicians who one day may be real famous… just like Josh Peck! While it makes sense to use your own platform to spread knowledge and create brand identity, blank videos with dripping sounds and a hashtag isn’t the way to do it. At all.
No. 7: Stop Trying to Make Fetch Happen
Logan Paul steals the No. 7 slot with a whopping 418,010 new followers. Logan, who claims he never begs for followers, spends a lot of his time begging for followers on other social media accounts like Instagram. While his bro comedy does have a certain charm, I think we all know what Regina George would say about the like-for-like requests.
No. 8: Low-Carb Snacks For On-The-Go
No. 8 goes to Nash Grier with 395,704 new followers. Nash is somehow No. 1 in all of Vinedom. Seriously, how did this happen? This kid makes me sad for humanity and scared for the future of our infrastructure. If you’re in the market for a new diet plan in 2015 that will really work, check out Nash’s video of him chewing a tube of chapstick like a cow; it’s guaranteed to make you never want to eat food again.
No. 9: Background Actor No. 1
Not-the-worst this month is Christian DelGrosso at No. 9 with 361,406 new followers. You may recognize Christian from some of his more popular friend’s videos. Christian is pretty funny in his own right, even if he is enrolled in the Logan Paul School of Social Media Advertisement.
No. 10: Granny Got Game
Like the last kid picked for Dodge Ball, Curtis Lepore rolls into 10th place with 344,808 new followers, which he should still be proud of. Curtis’ saving grace is not his more popular friends, but his grandma who easily steals the show in every video in which she appears. Coming in closely behind Grandma are Curtis’ parents. We can safely assume they’ll only get funnier as they age.
BONUS: It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane …
As a special treat and not to be left out of the fun is David Lopez with 228,864 new followers this month. His humor is pretty spot-on and his BatJuan is hilarious. Any man who will willingly post several videos of himself in a Superman onesie is pretty much aces in my book.
