Happy birthday to Jennifer Lopez, who returns to No. 1 on The Hollywood Reporter’s Top Actors list for the first time since March on the Aug. 7-dated Social Climbers charts.

THR’s Social Climbers charts are rankings of the most popular entities on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, with global data provided by social media analytics company MVPindex. The chart’s methodology blends engagement to entities’ social media accounts along with weekly additions of followers/subscribers. The latest tracking week ended July 30.

Lopez turned 50 on July 24, and the second biggest post by an actor in the tracking week was her July 25 Instagram upload calling the day “a birthday to remember.”

Of course, Lopez wasn’t the only one celebrating a birthday in the tracking week. Terry Crews celebrated his 51st on July 30, vaulting back onto Top Actors at No. 8 with 1.5 million Instagram favorites and 70,000 Facebook post likes.

The Top Comedians and Top TV Personalities charts, meanwhile, are ruled once again by Kevin Hart and Ellen DeGeneres, respectively. The latter chart also sees a re-entry from Bill Maher; the Real Time host rises to No. 6 on Top TV Personalities, his highest ranking since February, with a 148% jump in Facebook post likes, led by a post sharing of the news that the U.S. Senate passed a bill supporting a 9/11 victims fund.

The TV show-based tallies don’t see any changes at No. 1; Top Scripted continues to be led by Stranger Things, while The Late Show with Trevor Noah takes Top News/Talk/Variety and America’s Got Talent stays atop Top Unscripted. Top Scripted, however, sees a slight challenge from Orange Is the New Black; the Netflix series’ final season premiered July 26, and in turn, its social media accounts saw a 193% gain in all engagement, boosted not just by viewer discussion but also photos from the season’s red carpet premiere.
