Turns out One Direction have a lot of Twitter followers.

Published 8th Dec 2015

Twitter has released their top 10 most popular tweets of 2015 and One Direction WIN.

Based on the highest number of retweets from January 1st until November 10th, only one tweet per user was eligible, which didn't stop every member of One Direction making an appearance (yes, even Zayn).

Here's the top 10:

10. Caitlyn Jenner

Following her transition from Bruce to Caitlyn in June of this year, her first tweet to the world got over 250,000 retweets!

9. Leonard Nimoy

The final tweet from Star Trek actor Lenoard Nimoy shortly before his death aged 83.

8. Kanye West

Inspirational stuff from the future President of the United States.

7. Niall Horan

320,000 retweets for one member of One Direction saying Happy Birthday to another member of One Direction. Yep.

6. King Salman

After being crowned King of Saudi Arabia in January, the prayer of peace and love stretched far and wide on Twitter.

5. Louis Tomlinson

Shout out to the fans from Louis! Clever tactic...we see what you're doing Tomlinson! 413,000 retweets sneaks into the top 5.

4. President Obama

Inspirational stuff from the actual President of the United States. Tweeting his support for the Supreme Court's decision to legalise gay marriage in the US in June.

3. Liam Payne

Back to One Direction. Liam getting sentimental about the band's fifth anniversary.

2. Zayn Malik

Oh Zayn. Lovely Zayn. This message of support for their first single without him was felt by many...

1. Harry Styles

And in at number one. Harry Edward Styles. His subtle but beautiful message of support for Zayn after he announced he was leaving the band, has scored him top spot for 2015. Unless of course Harry decides to leave between now and December 31st...and as the most followed member of One Direction that would surely result in a recount.

Don't do it Harry.
