As an indication of how popular he has become, Austin currently has the largest following among musicians in social media. He has 8.6 million followers on his Twitter account and about 7.5 million followers on his Instagram page.
Most of his videos are on Vevo and can be viewed at YouTube so anyone who knows his or her music knows who Austin Mahone is. Obviously, he is more popular among the teens and the young ladies because of his striking good looks and appeal.
Another indication of how his latest single “Dirty Work” stirred his slumbering popularity, which seems to have slipped from late last year to early this year, Austin Mahone is now back at the No. 10 spot of the Billboard Social 50 Chart, a big jump from No. 48 in June.
The last time Mahone made it to No. 10 was back on August 2, 2014, and he has been on the slide since then.
With the release of “Dirty Work” however, it immediately caused a 304% increase in reactions across social media network sites including Instagram, Twitter and Vine during the week ending July 5.
Austin has also added a total of 100,000 followers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Vine following the release of his “Dirty Work,” which was an increase of 8% from his following during the previous week.
