The previous record was 2020. While Twitter does not have a concrete number for what is the highest trending topic, you can look at the average tweet count to get an idea of its popularity. Generally, a topic needs 112,000 tweets to hit the top 10 and 236,000 to get into the first row. Since 2006, the Library of Congress has been recording every tweet that&#8217;s been posted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chadwick_Bosemans_death\"><\/span>Chadwick Boseman&#8217;s death<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chadwick Boseman, the actor who portrayed King T&#8217;Challa and Thurgood Marshall, has passed away. His final tweet, &#8220;YES,&#8221; has garnered over seven million likes. Fans of the actor have shared a range of pictures and videos of the actor, including his iconic performances in the films 42 and Da 5 Bloods. The actor&#8217;s death has been felt around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Chadwick Boseman&#8217;s final tweet has become the most liked tweet in Twitter history, receiving more than 6 million likes in 24 hours. Following his tweet were two tweets from former US President Barack Obama, each garnering almost four million likes. The resulting tweets also received a tremendous amount of attention from fans. Several celebrities, including Michelle Obama, have paid tribute to the late actor.<\/p>\n<p>Although Twitter does not provide an official list, the list is often covered by news sources. The tweet containing the news of Boseman&#8217;s death received more than seven million likes, making it the most popular post of 2020. The actor&#8217;s last tweet was posted around 7 p.m. Friday, and it has since gained over two million retweets and nearly seven million likes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"COVID-19_Hate_Crimes_Act\"><\/span>COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, introduced by Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Rep. Grace Meng of New York, is the highest trending topic on Twitter right now. It would make it easier to report hate crimes by requiring the department to designate a point person to expedite the review process. It would also authorize grants to states to implement crime-reduction programs.<\/p>\n<p>Since the outbreak of the pandemic, Asians have been the target of derogatory language and the hashtags #COVID-19 have spread widely on Twitter. The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has even used the term &#8220;Wuhan virus&#8221; to describe the virus. But Trump has since stepped back from using the term, issuing a tweet in support of the Asian-American community. Yet Trump has not directed any governmental response specific to protect Asian-Americans from the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The study&#8217;s authors identified 15 clusters of anti-Asian hate tweets and calculated a &#8220;relative risk&#8221; for each U.S. county, based on the number of hateful tweets sent within each cluster. Generally, counties with more Asian residents have higher relative risks than areas that are more white. The authors of the study hope to use this knowledge to create a tool for public health to better protect marginalized communities from racist hate crimes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Squid_Game\"><\/span>Squid Game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no surprise that the Squid Game has become the highest trending topic on Twitter, with more than 111 million followers. This viral game was created by MrBeast, a YouTube personality known for giving random strangers money. In order to capitalize on the Squid Game&#8217;s viral success, MrBeast created his own version. However, he faced backlash from people who deemed his version not up to par with the original.<\/p>\n<p>The popularity of the show has surpassed that of the latest blockbuster movies. The film is an award-winning South Korean production directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk. The series stars 465 people and depicts the darker side of human nature. The Squid Game premiered last week on Netflix, and has already received more than one million Twitter followers. The show is expected to remain the highest trending topic on Twitter for some time.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Squid Game&#8217;s viral impact, the game has also spawned a wave of memes. Videos of players cutting shapes from &#8220;dalgona&#8221; candy, a type of corn syrup and brown sugar mixture, are widely shared online. As of October 5, over nine million users had posted videos of their own attempting to cut the shapes out of the candy without breaking them.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TumSUewLRiU\" width=\"410\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"229\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Highest Trending Topic on Twitter?
