Makati City in the Greater Manila area of the Philippines

According to TIME Magazine, taking a selfie is more popular in Makati City than in any other major city on the planet. The financial center of the Philippines, located in the Greater Manila area, topped the magazine's ranking of the "Selfiest Cities in the World," which is based on the city's population and on the number of geo-tagged photos uploaded to Instagram with the hashtag #selfie . In Makati, TIME estimates that 258 people out of 100,000 are "selfie-takers."



North American cities were well represented, as eight of the top 20 selfie capitals were located in the US, including Manhattan in second place.

Top 20 "Selfiest Cities in the World":

1 Makati City, Philippines, 258 selfie-takers per 100,000 people
2. Manhattan, NY, US, 202
3. Miami, US, 155
4. Anaheim, US, 147
5. Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, 141
6. Tel Aviv, Israel, 139
7. Manchester, England, 114
8. Milan, Italy, 108
9. Cebu City, Philippines, 99
10. George Town, Malaysia, 95
11. San Francisco, US, 91
12. Oslo, Norway, 89
13. Boston, US, 88
14. Newark, US, 84
15. Honolulu, US, 82
16. Baguio, Philippines, 82
17. Paris, France, 80
18. Denpasar, Indonesia, 75
19. Leeds, England, 72
20. Las Vegas, US, 72

The study was carried out in two phases, from January 28 to February 2 and from March 3 to 7, 2014, based on a total of 402,197 photos posted to Instagram and tagged #selfie . Only cities with a population of at least 250,000 were taken into account.

Where are the most selfie-obsessed places on the planet? Makati City outside Manila in the Philippines has been dubbed the selfie capital of the world by Time magazine, which also ranked the Disney dominated Anaheim-Santa Ana area as fourth. Sorry, Angelenos, Los Angeles didn't make it in the top 100.

Selfie-takers number 258 per 100,000 people in metropolitan Manila, according to a recent database the magazine made of Instagram users who tagged the arm-extended self-portraits #selfie and included geographic data.

Time ranked 100 "selfiest" cities, which includes California cities San Francisco (11), Riverside (35), Sacramento (76), San Diego (82) and San Jose (91).

After Makati City, the top 10 cities are:


2. New York City
3. Miami
4. Anaheim and Santa Ana, Calif.
5. Petaing Jaya, Malaysia
6. Tel Aviv
7. Manchester, England
8. Milan, Italy
9. Cebu City, Philippines
10. George Town, Malaysia


Some of the rankings are more than perplexing:

Boston (13) over Paris (17)?
Leeds in Engand (19) over Las Vegas (20)?

The magazine provides some context for its attempt at scientific selfie findings: "While the metric of 'people who take selfies per capita' is far from a perfect measure, it was far and away the most comprehensive means of comparing the 459 world cities that turned up at least 25 individual users in the database."
