Super Junior is a pretty big group, both literally and figuratively... but are they bigger than American Idol? Not quite, but recently Super Junior did beat American Idol on popular microblogging site Twitter. Advertising Age or Adage is a respected news analysis magazine. They use analytics and statistical data which is a great tool for many agencies to use. As social media grows they've started to track and analyze social media trends such as trending topics on Twitter. On February 26th they published an article titled Wait, What? Super Junior Is Bigger Than 'American Idol'? (What's Super Junior?) An excerpt from the article:

"Brands chart (look for it each Friday), a collaboration between Advertising Age and What The Trend, the social-media trend-analytics service.
