In a recent study conducted by [Recommend.ly](http://recommend.ly/?ref=hypebot.com), Facebook Pages for  
**musicians and bands** have led the way in collecting **the most fans compared to any**  
**other personal brand Page** (celebrities, public figures, etc) throughout the  
past 3-4 years. This was seen after Recommedn.ly took a sample of 5.76 million Facebook  
Pages and saw that the average fans per category resided most heavily in the category  
of musicians. There were also a slew of findings regarding how musicians and others perform on Facebook including their page activity, their participation with fans, the type of content they share, and more.

Below is merely a glance at some of those numbers, but we encourage you to read the  
full report **[here](http://blog.recommend.ly/facebook-pages-usage-patterns/?ref=hypebot.com)**.
