As 2019 and our latest decade comes to a close, we’ve been giggling in the Plann office about some of the images that got the most likes this year.

It’s the end of an era, as the likes are slowly turned off, we’ll never really know which images are the most liked next year, so let’s take a look back at the last 12 months and see what got the world double-tapping.

1. The Egg

That’s right, the most-liked image on Instagram this year is an egg! The Instagram account @world_record_egg took over as the most liked photo of 2019 with its #LikeTheEgg and #EggGang that made a Guinness record. Needless to say, when you start a movement, Instagram followers are ready to make dreams come true!

 

2. First Look of Kylie Jenner’s Daughter

We got a first intimate look into Kylie’s world with precious Stormi taking over the most likes just behind the famous egg. The sweet moment caught on camera captivated everyone and held onto the top spot for much of 2019.

4. Friends Forever

The world flew into a flurry when Jennifer Aniston joined Instagram. After holding out for years claiming she just didn’t get it, she now holds the record for being the fastest person to reach one million followers, ever, while also having one of the most liked photos of 2019.

Guinness World Records announced that Aniston had broken the record for the fastest time for an Instagram account to reach 1 million followers, reaching the milestone in just five hours and 16 minutes!

6. Selena Gomez, #1

Like Kylie, Selena Gomez takes over Instagram just by living her life, she’s also one of the highest followed people on the social media platform. While hanging out with friends, she snapped this shot that feels familiar and friendly to any regular day at the beach with friends.

9. Kylie’s Birthday Post For Travis 

Kylie’s birthday post for boyfriend Travis Scott warmed hearts all across Instagram in 2019. Although their relationship didn’t make it to the end of 2019, they’ll be remembered for these sweet nothings.

 

10. Spider-Man and Iron Man

Who doesn’t love the Avengers hanging out after hours? Beloved Spider-Man and Iron Man take the 10th spot in the most liked photos of 2019 by simply being themselves.

You might be recovering still from Robert Downey Jr leaving the crew, so this gives back a little hope into our daily lives of their forever friendship!
