[Bart Nikodem]

It's Japanese singer Noriko Sakai. She is regarded as the most popular person in China both in name and reality by the Chinese music magazine "Music world". So adding up her fans in China (1.3 Billion) with her fans in Japan (127 Million) makes her the most popular person in the world (1.45 Billion). At least the most popular person who is not a religious figure (Christianity 2.1 Billion).

 

[Britney Spears]

You.....might want to think that one through again....... ???

 

[CanEhdian]

And for all these years I bet you never thought that information would come in handy Bart.

 

[Bart Nikodem]

I know I was inflating the numbers somewhat ( I doubt everyone in China and Japan is a fan of hers), but if you are the most popular person in China you definitely have a head start on everyone else. Except maybe the most popular person in India (Amitabh Bachchan).
All the best,
Bart

 

[TCBF]

Well, she is cute.  She can sing.  If she keeps her clothes on, I'm a fan.
