Who Runs the Charts? Biggest Pop Fandoms of 2025

In the world of music, fandoms are more than just groups of fans—they're thriving communities that fuel artists' success, create viral moments, and spark global movements, all while uniting people across the world with one common passion: the love of music.

BTS Army

You have seen crazy, but have you seen the BTS Army? The Army isn’t just a fandom—it’s a revolution. It’s a global movement—and one to be feared. With record-breaking albums, sold-out stadium tours, and a loyal fan base spanning continents, ARMY has driven BTS to unprecedented international success. This isn’t a fanbase; this is a religion!


Swifties

Why are we still questioning the power of women when a bunch of little giggly Swifties could bring down the prices of eggs by 13%—just because their mother, Taylor, casually asked them to do so? With “The Eras Tour” becoming one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, her fans' devotion across generations is unmatched. The mother is mothering!


BLINKS

Blackpink’s fandom, BLINKs, stands among the most influential and powerful today. From smashing YouTube records—like the most-viewed debut music video and fastest group to hit 1 billion views—to taking over global stages at Coachella and BST Hyde Park, BLINKs have kept BLACKPINK in the global spotlight, even through extended hiatuses.

Beliebers

The Beliebers were the OG fandom. They were the blueprint for modern fan culture—long before it even existed. They didn’t just support Justin; they built a digital empire in his name, crashing servers, trending hashtags, and defending their “king” with the fierceness of a medieval army armed with Wi-Fi and Photoshop.


Stylers

Girls with crushes are powerful. Stylers aren’t just fans—they’re a glitter-drenched, feather-boa-wrapped state of mind. Stylers are known for their vibrant fashion, open-hearted vibes, and fierce loyalty. They scream every lyric like gospel, treat concerts like costume parties, and turn every arena into a safe space where crying, dancing, and existential love for a man in sparkly pants is fully acceptable.


BeyHive

I would like to thank… Okay, now this is getting a little old (will continue to use it in every post that mentions Beyoncé). The BeyHive doesn’t stan—they worship, strategize, and mobilize like a high-powered think tank in heels. Named after Beyoncé’s queen bee persona, the BeyHive is equal parts elegance and elite warfare. They’ve memorized every note, every snatched wig moment, and every blink from Homecoming to Renaissance.


Directioners

Directioners may have been born in the golden era of Tumblr edits and midnight premieres, but don’t be fooled—this fandom is still very much alive, thriving on nostalgia, solo careers, and the eternal hope of a reunion. They survived the hiatus-that-shall-not-be-named, countless Twitter meltdowns, and enough fan theories to fill a library. Directioners were—and still are—a global phenomenon with the emotional range of a fanfic and the loyalty of a golden retriever.

No matter the genre or artist, fandoms aren’t just about music—they’re movements, communities, and forces that shape pop culture, creating a bond that transcends songs and lasts a lifetime. Whether you're in the BeyHive, ARMY, or part of the Beliebers, being a part of these iconic fanbases means belonging to something far bigger than just a love for music—it's a shared journey, powered by passion and devotion (and a little bit of insanity!).
