Move over, egg.
Argentina forward Lionel Messi's post celebrating Argentina's World Cup win became the most-liked post in Instagram history overnight on Tuesday, breaking a nearly four-year-old record held by a photo of an egg.
As of Tuesday morning on the East Coast, Messi’s post had 61.1 million likes—4.5 million more than the egg, a novelty photo posted January 4, 2019 in an intentional bid to become the most liked post in Instagram history.
The total number of likes would amount to 0.8% of the world population, and a figure greater than the populations of nations such as South Africa, Italy, and South Korea.
