While the 2024 edition of the Star Academy was launched last Saturday on TF1, some students are already standing out on social networks in terms of number of subscribers. But then, who is the most followed candidate of the season at the moment?
The figure of the week: 32,200.
What does this figure represent? At the time of writing, this is the number of subscribers to the Instagram account ofEmmacandidate for the 2024 season of the show Star Academy on TF1. This actually the most followed student in the classfor now, on the famous social network.
Who are the candidates of the Star Academy 2024 most (and least) popular on Instagram?
Why is this number important? With her more than 32,000 “fans” on Instagram, Emma has established herself as the most popular candidate of the Star Academy 2024 for the moment, even though the season was launched on October 12 on TF1. She is followed by Franck which, for its part, displays 27 300 followers on the social network. A little further, we find Ulysses (17,800 subscribers), Marguerite (16,400 subscribers), Marine (16,300 subscribers), Masséo (16,200 subscribers) et Maureen (14,000 subscribers).
Maiafor its part, is followed by 13,200 people on his Instagram account while Julie and Noah each have 11,800 subscribers on their page. Charleshe counts 10 800 followers et Ebony 10 200. At the bottom of the ranking, we find… the three nominees from this first week: Maylis (8700 subscribers), Thomas (7500 subscribers) et Paul (6500 subscribers).
Deprived of their cell phone during the entire adventure Star Academycandidates do not have access to social networks and therefore cannot add to their Instagram account while they are at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys. Nevertheless, their number of subscribers continues to climb day by day, proof of their growing notoriety thanks to TF1’s flagship program.
The fact that Emma is currently the most followed is certainly a guarantee of popularity, but that is not everything – and above all, it can change at any time. For good reason, viewers of the Star Academy who subscribe to a candidate’s Instagram account are not necessarily those who vote in the event of nomination of this same candidate. So, the fact that Maylis is currently more followed than Thomas and Paul does not mean that she will automatically be saved by the public at the end of Saturday’s prime.
Especially since Emma’s case is a bit special… As a reminder, the 22-year-old young woman discovered that she was going to join the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys during the press conference of the Star Academy 2024 on September 25 at TF1, in front of a room full of journalists, in the presence of Nikos Aliagas and Pierre Garnier. Very quickly, the information leaked on social networks. Emma was then able to get a little head start on her comrades in terms of the number of subscribers.
The final word? If Emma’s participation in this new edition of the Star Academy was revealed before that of the other candidates, she is not the only one. Marine’s face was revealed, in preview, during the 1 p.m. television news on TF1 on October 2. However, we see that Emma has double the number of subscribers as her friend on Instagram.
By being put in the spotlight before entering the castle, Emma also faced criticism from Internet users. During the live Star Academy on TF1+, this Sunday October 13, we could hear the young woman confide: « The public doesn’t like me, I have the impression. They think I’ve done my lips. I haven’t done my lips.”. And to add: “As I leaked on the networks, I saw the ‘kindness’ of people… It’s unfortunate, but that’s how it is”.
