Social media is a powerful tool, but which superstars are using iteffectively? Forbes has compiled a list of "Social Networking Superstars"and Rihanna actually tops the list.

With 23.8 million Twitter followers and a strong 59.6 million fans onFacebook, Forbes says Rihanna makes "good use of social media" but might be doing a little too much online.

"Rihanna tops our list as the star with the most followers and fans. The24-year-old singer makes good use of social media, tweeting often andcontroversially," reports Forbes. "She curses and posts photos of herselfpartying in places like strip clubs. She came under fire in April when sheposted photos that looked like she was using drugs."

Following Rihanna, Lady Gaga comes in close with 28 million followers onTwitter and 53 million Facebook fans.

Notably Gaga has used Twitter to address everything from music and fashionto politics. She recently debuted a tattoo and later confirmed the words "ARTPOP" will be the title of her next album.

While both pop behemoths top the chart, Hip Hop stars Eminem and Lil Waynealso made the list with formidable numbers.

Coming at no.3 Eminem has the most fans on Facebook -- a strong 60.3million.

"He ranks third because he doesn't have as many followers on Twitter as someother stars. That might be because for the most part, Eminem's tweets arepromotional, not personal," reports Forbes.

Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Shakira, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Taylor Swiftfollow respectively.

Rounding out the list, Lil Wayne falls at no.9 thanks to 7.9 million Twitterfollowers and 40 million Facebook fans. Selena Gomez follows at no.10.
