Midler’s Oct. 2 Twitter

proclamation of “It’s time

...” was meant to usher in

Halloween season, with an

accompanying video show-

ing her witch character

from 1993’s Hocus Pocus.

The tweet accounted for

301,000 of Midler’s 997,000

Twitter favorites that week.

After three months away,

Riverdale retakes this

chart’s top spot with a

131 percent boost in social

media engagement — and

that was just for the lead-up

to its season-four premiere,

which aired Oct. 9 on

The CW, outside the latest

tally’s data tracking week.

Sizable boosts in all

Facebook metrics (includ-

ing 940 percent in post

likes) snag Youssef his

maiden appearance on

this chart. The Egyptian

comic’s top post was a

selfie at the GQ Middle East

Men of the Year Awards

(which he hosted).

The multihyphenate held

a gala grand opening of

the 330-acre Tyler Perry

Studios on Oct. 5 in Atlanta,

with many of his top posts

(2.7 million Instagram favor-

ites in all) referencing the

event. He also was recently

awarded a star on the

Hollywood Walk of Fame.
