He posted a heartfelt and adorable tweet of a picture where he\u2019s holding his newborn son, Freddie. The following two posts were of Tomlinson\u2019s bandmate, Harry Styles, ringing in the new year with a simple tweet of the new year. And former One Direction star Zayn Malik came in third with the exact same tweet\u2026 but with a Z replacing the 2 to make the stunningly punny \u201cZ016.\u201d And the last two positions in the top 5 belonged to Liam from One Direction and the band\u2019s official Twitter profile. This is the exact same order as in December, except with Louis knocking Harry out for first place. And on top of already having the top tweets of the month, One Direction and it\u2019s members are also the fastest growing profiles and the most engaging ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Sotrender-Blog-Twitter-Trends-JAN-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21211 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Sotrender-Blog-Twitter-Trends-JAN-3.png\" alt=\"Sotrender Blog Twitter Trends JAN 3\" width=\"691\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Sotrender-Blog-Twitter-Trends-JAN-3.png 691w, https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Sotrender-Blog-Twitter-Trends-JAN-3-475x381.png 475w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 691px) 100vw, 691px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One Direction is unstoppable on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The rest of Twitter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This month, the most active profiles belonged to The Guardian, Vogue.co.uk, and Daily Mirror.
