All hail queen @britneyspears! The pop princess has stolen former king @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher) Twitter thunder and now holds the top spot for most followers. As of Monday evening, Spears had 4,958,098 followers while Kutcher lagged behind with 4,946,058 followers.

"Wow!!!!! #1 on Twitter," Spears tweeted, "Thank you! Tweet me some questions this morning! xoxo - Brit."

The @britneyspears account, which is run by Britney and her manager Adam, has seen lots of activity today. After being notified about her reigning status, Spears proceeded to chat with fans and answer their questions. She mentioned that her management thought it would be a good way to connect with fans - and boy were they right! Spears got it right by engaging with fans and accepting Twitter's mantra of two-way communication.

While Spears was celebrating, Ashton tweeted that he "doesn't care" about losing his title of Twitter king. Sore loser, Ashton?
