Comparing things further, it was said that if all the people of Swaziland had access to the Internet and had two Instagram accounts each, they would still be about 200,000 likes short form the recorded 2.4 million likes of the said photo.  

The picture depicts a smooching Kanye and Kim in front of Florence, Italy's wall of flowers, a backdrop used for their wedding vows. It initially got 1.9 million likes only 2 days after it was posted, which overthrew the then reigning Instagram pic of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez posted by the teen heartthrob himself.

Coming third on the list is Ariana Grande's post of her kissing Miley Cyrus on the cheek with 1.8 million likes. The "Bang Bang" singer was apparently awed by the presence of the "Bangerz" artist. The figure is no longer a bad count considering Grande only has 20.7 million Instagram followers as compared with the 23 Million that Kim Kardashian has.

Contrary to what the entertainment industry expected, the picture of Kim's naked butt did not even reach a million likes. This led many to believe that this kind of artistry is something not many people are keen on supporting especially from controversial artists in the entertainment industry.

To date, Kim's photo continues to gain likers and is expected to attract more approval towards the nearing end of the year.
