Twitter is ending 2020 with a roundup of the most-tweeted topics and conversations we’ve had this year.

Every year, Twitter rolls out its own edition of a year-end roundup by unveiling the most discussed conversations of 2020. From the most tweeted about musicians and personalities to sports and TV shows, here are the trends that set the Twitter realm abuzz this year. 

Akin to their Grammy-nominated hit single, Dynamite, BTS have lit up Twitter as well, emerging at the top of another list, clinching the title of the most-tweeted musicians in the world.
