Having a more popular Instagram is the best revenge, and Selena Gomez, the most popular user on Instagram, can also claim the most popular post on the app now, too.

The title previously belonged to one of Justin Bieber's many Jelena throwback shots, so there's really no denying Gomez's Insta appeal.

The image in question, in which Gomez sips on a bottle of Coke featuring lyrics from her song, "Me & the Rhythm," recently cracked over 4 million likes after she posted it two weeks ago.
