Brit Awards 2019 – The greatest show

It’s awards season and Twitter knows it! We were recently writing about two of the greatest awards shows: the #Grammys and the #Baftas 2019.

Thanks to the blue bird Social Network fans can feel that they are at the venue of the event even if they are sitting in their sofa watching the show. Last night the Brit Awards 2019 took place at the O2 Arena in London. Everything was ready for the 39th edition of these awards which were hosted by Jack Whitehall for second year in a row.

We have to say that the numbers these awards have collected in Twitter are incredible: over 350,000 tweets from more than 120,000 users.

#Brits2019 – User rankings

A Tweet Binder Twitter report provides more than 10 user rankings. Thanks to these we are able to know who have been the most active users, the most popular or even those who have received the highest number of retweets.

The top repliers ranking is actually quite interesting as it shows the users who are generating conversation within the analyzed hashtag. It is important to keep track of these users as they are giving their opinion about your event so we have to see if they are saying good things of bad things. If the comments they are posting are bad, we will have to see if the problem can be fixed or if they just want to mess up with you.

From our point of view, retweets are what really show the engagement you have with your followers. Liking a tweet is very easy, but by retweeting you are agreeing to what the original users has said. That is why users who retweet a tweet tend to be more faithful to stay in your followers list rather than those who just click the heart shaped button.

Since some years ago, it is impossible to think about the Brit Awards without thinking about Little Mix. Their performances in this show are difficult to forget, they always put up quite a show. This is their most retweeted tweet:
