Charlie Sheen Attracts One Million Twitter Followers in One Day

He did it. Charlie Sheen accomplished the unthinkable – one million-plus followers since joining Twitter on Monday.

Charlie Sheen is on Twitter.



After days of outrageous interviews, you can now get Sheen’s musings via his official account @charliesheen.

And that’s after only 16 Tweets mostly comprised of messages focused on “winning” and “Tiger blood” as well as links to random photos.

Sheen’s influence is clearly being felt across the social network. “A combo of “Charlie Sheen” and related terms (including “Adonis DNA” and “#tigerblood,” two trending topics based on attributes Sheen claims to possess) was yielding as many as 24,000 tweets per hour Monday, and a peak of more than 50,000 an hour yesterday,” according to AdAge.

In addition, the website Klout, which measures your Twitter influence, reveals Sheen is already a 78. Compare that to Twitter Queen Lady Gaga, who currently scored a 92, and Sheen’s really not that far off. This means when Charlie Tweets, his message spreads like wildfire.

Yesterday, Sheen Tweeted, “Get’m while they’re hot..!,” with a link to a photo of the above restaurant sign, which apparently is offering a “Daily Deal – Charlie Dog with Tiger Blood.”

Moments later, Sheen Tweeted, “Yeah man… This works!,” with a link to a photo of the actual “Charlie Dogs.”

If he continues this breakneck pace through next week, Sheen will surpass big time celebrity Twitterers like:

Oprah Winfrey, 5.2 million followers
Ashton Kutcher, 6.4 million followers
Kim Kardashian, 6.5 million followers
Britney Spears, 7 million followers
Justin Bieber, 7.8 million followers
Lady Gaga, 8.5 million followers

We're all going to hell in a hand basket, you just know that, right ?
