Here is the follower list of the most popular Instagrams on the planet and my impressions of what makes them effective. Now obviously you have to be pretty famous to be one of the 10 most-followed people on Instagram. The list is updated on 22th October 2016.

1. Instagram

Own your turf and don’t overthink it. You’re a person not a brand, unless you’re a brand marketer in which case take all of this advice to heart.

2. Selena Gomez

4. Beyonce

Beyonce has a very normal Instagram. It’s just that her life looks like it rocks, so it comes off a lot more awesome than ours do.

5. Ariana Grande

86,817,808 followers
Ariana engages with her fans really well and reposts fan’s pictures and responds to them. She also posts a lot of downloaded Snapchat videos as Instagrams, which I kind of find odd but whatever.

6. Kim Kardashian

85,637,229 followers
The Kardashians really are insane. They have their own apps, they upload tons of photos every day, they post posts of them posting posts. You can’t just chalk up the fact that they all have some of the most massive followings due to them just being who they are. Instagram was made for the type of culture Kim Kardashian embodies: big visual moments on display.

7. Cristiano Ronaldo

79,905,974 followers
Be honest. He’s one of the most famous football players in the world and he uses his Instagram mostly to show what he does, which is a lot of practice and working out.

8. Justin Bieber

77,865,420 followers
Justin Bieber gets an unbelievably higher amount of likes than almost anyone on this list. If you can cultivate a following as involved as he has, run for the hills.

9. Kylie Jenner

77,111,543 followers
I really can’t talk about the Kardashian clan this seriously anymore, just click to the next one please.

10. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Nice guys win sometimes. Nobody’s Instagram leaves you with a better impression of the person than The Rock’s. He takes a lot of selfie videos just engaging with his followers and he tends to show off a lot of fan art.

Walking Dead

Walking Dead? Isn’t it more than weird things guys? Actually this is for fearless poeple. As funerals sometimes can be costly and intricate ceremonies, some families can’t afford an initial proper burial. As a result, they place the dead body in a temporary coffin. And when they are able to maintain the fund, the corpse is raised from the dead and walks to its new resting place. Afterlife is an important part of the religious beliefs of Torajah people.

El Colacho Baby Jumping

This is another of unusual traditions that exists in the world. The residents of Spain have been taking part in this weird culture called El Colacho since 1620. El Colacho means baby jumping. Originally El Colacho was organized to keep the Devils away. In this festival, infants are laid on the mattresses in the street after the heavy crowds gather to watch. The jumpers wear the traditional costumes to look like the Devils. However, sometimes injuries occur during the jump, this festival is still getting constant popularity in Spain.

But, it’s very common practice for some ethnic groups in Indonesia to wrap the deceased up in special garbs and keep it safe in the house they live. It is believed that the soul of their loved ones will be preserved until burial.

Kidnapping the Bride

It sounds illegal, isn’t it? But the Romani have carried out this insanely criminal tradition for centuries. This tradition of snatching the bride from under the nose of groom and guests with the wedding party in full swing is still getting massive popularity in the Romanian capital. Some friends of the groom decide to kidnap the bride. The ransom is all about few bottles of whisky or perhaps something more romantic. The guys who kidnap the bride negotiate via phone. This tradition is harmless and is celebrated as a risqué fun to nuptials.

Kanamara Matsuri of Japan

Kanamara Matsuri is The Festival of Steel Penis which takes place on the first Sunday of April each year. Japanese people celebrate fertility by holding the giant wooden phallus. They hoist that phallus into the air and then march across the town. It is believed that this celebration brings about regenerative abilities on the local crops and also ensures the fertility for everyone. It may appear to be an outlandish display of sexuality in public places, but many would argue that the openness of Kanamara Matsuri is healthy one which celebrated the ability to reproduce. During this festival, many Japanese go out with their children and happy go about giving them penis lollipop without sexualizing it in any way. Anyway, it will definitely astound you all knowing that there’s actually an entire festival in Japan dedicated to Penis.

Hanging Coffins in China

You can witness the countless suspended artifacts and occult phenomena on the chillingly steep cliffs along Yangtze River, China. People of China, some known as Toraja follow this weird culture wherein they burry their family members and hang them over some cliffs after death. You can observe many suspended coffins from the bottom of the cliff. Coffins are generally hung 33 to 164 feet high and some even as high as 328 feet above the ground. It is still not known for sure how the coffins were placed at such great heights. Records of hanging coffins date back almost 2000 years. The practices of hanging coffin burial also took place in some parts of Philippines and Indonesia too.

Tossing the Babies

Doesn’t it sound weird even when you hear the phrase ‘Baby Tossing’? But it’s a common practice for the people in Solapur village (situated in Maharashtra state of India) to toss newborn babies off from the terrace of 50 foot tower. There are people at the foot of the tower holding sheets to catch the baby safely. It is believed that this gives their children good luck, long and healthy life, and moreover, they will grow smart.

Mourning of Muharram

This is one of the weirdest cultures in Muslim communities. They call it “Mourning of Muharram” and it takes place on the death anniversary of Husayn Ibn Ali. In this very day, a number of groups consisting of Shia Muslims go out with whips attached with knives and blades and then start beating them up unstoppably. Some people may even cut their own heads off with these knives. No matter how cruel this is, this tradition has been passed over to their descendants from generations.
