R&B superstar Rihanna will take the honour of being the most 'liked' artist on Facebook for 2011.

Clocking in at a staggering 47,788,147 fans, the Barbados-born singer is a touch over two million ahead of Lady Gaga, seven million over Family Guy and nearly ten million ahead of Justin Bieber.

If you don't think that makes her a superstar, well not only are you wrong, but she has another Facebook-related statistic to wave in your face. Her song We Found Love, which was recorded with Calvin Harris is also the most listened to song on Facebook for 2011, beating songs from Katy Perry, LMFAO, David Guetta and Adele.

Rihanna's sixth studio album Talk That Talk was released in November just three months after the last single from her previous juggernaut of an album.
