Not only that, the three biggest Twitter accounts are absolute tweet monsters: Lady Gaga rules with 15.1 million followers, Justin Bieber with 13.9 million, and Katy Perry with 11.5 million. That's enough to beat a fourth-place Obama, according to stats shared by Twitaholic.

A deeper dive reveals some similarly musician-heavy stats. Of the top 50 most followed accounts, 25 are musicians or heavily music-related. That percentage starts to fade somewhat in the top 100, where 44 are musicians.
And #100? That'd be Rev Run, whose greatest burst of fame happened decades before Twitter was even a hairbrained concept.

hate to nitpick but lets not forget Kim Kardashian is also a MUSICIAN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgG3f1DcjwA Especially if you think Justin Bieber is a musician.

@Just a Fan.
And just when I'd flushed that video from my brain cache. Please, please don't make me categorize Kim Kardashian as a musician! (or Paris Hilton, for that matter)

I'm now adding "musician" to my profile (I've been known to hum)
