Bianca Andreescu Ruled the Internet This Year as the Most-Mentioned Canadian Athlete on Twitter

Bianca Andreescu has had quite the year. The 19-year-old Mississauga-born tennis player won the Rogers Cup against Serena Williams, became the first Canadian to win a US Open Grand Slam singles title and launched a vegan beauty line so it’s no wonder she turned out to be the Canadian athlete with the most account mentions in 2019. Interestingly, this is the first time a woman has been the most-mentioned Canadian athlete on Twitter for a full calendar year.

Twitter Canada also released several other stats from this year of social media activity, based on total tweet volumes between January 1, 2019 and November 15, 2019. Shawn Mendes came out on top as the Canadian musician with the most account mentions in 2019—beating out past winners Drake and Justin Bieber—no doubt because of his record-breaking single “Senorita,” his much-talked-about relationship with fellow musician Camila Cabello, and his 2019 world tour.

Ryan Reynolds, whose live action film Pokémon Detective Pikachu came out earlier this year, was the Canadian actor with the most account mentions in 2019. According to Twitter Canada, this is the third time Reynolds has come out on top in the four years that they’ve been tracking this category. With another film yet to drop—6 Underground, on Netflix—it’s likely he’ll hold on to the top spot for the remainder of the year.

Unsurprisingly, the Toronto Raptors were the Canadian sports team with the most account mentions for the second consecutive year. Read on for the full list of who dominated Twitter in 2019:
