How do you recap a year like 2020? By reflecting on how we all got through it together on Twitter. #ThisHappened2020
While it was a year of uncertainty, it was also a year of gratitude. Tweets expressing being grateful or thankful increased by 20% globally.
The world mourned together when news about the tragic passing of actor @ChadwickBoseman was shared, making this the most RTed & QTed Tweet of the year and the most ❤️ Tweet of all time https://twitter.com/chadwickboseman/status/1299530165463199747
It’s no surprise that #COVID19 and #StayHome are the first and third most Tweeted hashtags respectively of 2020, but we also saw a few interesting trends related to the topics...
On average, there were over 7,000 Tweets per minute about TV & movies worldwide this year... so it makes sense that the 🛋 emoji usage went up 40%
Tweets about cooking nearly tripled this year (but that banana bread craze only last 3 months), and the trends in food-related emojis suggest that folks needed a sweet treat & strong drink.
In one of the most-Liked Tweeted of the year, we watched people get creative while under #StayHome orders... https://twitter.com/gnuman1979/status/1239523796542992387
