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.
