Forget all those famous pop stars and actors, the most retweeted tweet of 2016 is from someone you might now even know.
Forget Kanye West's rants, the U.S election and celebrity baby news...this year's most retweeted tweet actually comes from YouTuber and gamer Rubiu5!
On August 20th 2016, he tweeted the Spanish translation for the word "Lemonade" and it has since gathered a mammoth 1.4 MILLION retweets!

Incredibly, the YouTuber from Madrid promised fans a prize if they retweeted his one word tweet. We're not exactly sure if he delivered on his promise however the incentive definitely worked...1.4 MILLION retweets...WHAT?!

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22.
