Half of our top 20 growing Facebook Pages this week was taken up by musicians, which has become fairly normal. Our list of growing Pages comes from our PageData tool, which counts the number of Likes added each day. Aside from musicians we had a handful of big brands, such as Oreo and Cola-Cola, as well as movie-related Pages like “Harry Potter” and some popular TV shows which premiered their fall seasons this past week.
