AlDub is a 'Global Phenomenon' According to Twitter

AlDub is now a “global phenomenon” with no less than a Twitter executive giving the tag to the split-screen love team.

Twitter Asia Pacific and Middle East Vice President Rishi Jaitly said in a statement:

“Aldub is a global phenomenon on Twitter and shows how our platform as the social soundtrack to TV has really connected Filipinos who love a good love story. We can’t wait to see if the live, public Aldub conversation can set global records by uniting their passionate fans, the nation, and the world on Twitter.

On Saturday, September 26, 2015, AlDub raked in a whopping 26 million tweets for the hashtag #ALDubEBforLOVE which almost broke the Twitter record of 28.4 million global tweets for Super Bowl XLIX last February.

When the #KalyeSerye featured Alden visiting Yaya Dub inside Lola Nidora’s mansion, the trend peaked at 43,000 tweets per minute.
