Justin Bieber becomes the second person to reach 100m Twitter followers

Justin Bieber has become the second person to reach 100 million followers on Twitter.

He follows Katy Perry (103m) who managed it in June, but is in front of Taylor Swift (85.5m) and Rihanna (79.9m).

Former US president Barack Obama comes in third though with 94.3m.

To celebrate, Bieber has been given his own emoji on the site, which fans can use by using the hashtag #100millionbeliebers.

Twitter congratulated him on the site, posting a message saying: 'In each other's company since Tweet number one'.

It all started for him when he was 15 and needed the hits.

His first tweet read: Check out my single One Time on my MySpace and spread the word for me. Thanks

But his most re-tweeted post was when he wanted to let us all know how he was after he was arrested for drinking under the influence.

He wrote: You are all worthy no matter what anyone says. Be strong God is with us all. My Beliebers changed my life. I will forever be grateful.

And we've learnt some things about him too.

In 2009 he posted: If I could be any animal I would be a liger.. 'Cos they're sweet.

Sometimes he can still be really relatable.

Who doesn't love a nap? He wrote in 2010: Gonna nap...yeah i still nap. naps are cool. who doesn't like naps?

Through it all he's stayed humble, despite him having (nearly) the most followers on Twitter.

He once wrote: That is why i like twitter. I can say it how it is. No one twisting things
