The top 50 most popular #selfie locations have been revealed! - where does the KBB sector rank?

Get ready to smile
 for a 'selfie'!
We seem to want to take photographs of everything and anything these days, including ourselves, especially vain selfies in front of the mirror, for some reason!

The on-line retailer Bathrooms.com has revealed the top 20 'selfie' hotspots, and the kitchen ranked fifth with 21,900 photos taken but the bathroom was a surprising 25th.


The on-line retailer conducted the study to see if there was a correlation between the selfie trend and a 25% spike in sales of bathroom mirrors it has seen in the last two years.

After analysing Instagram photos tagged ‘selfie’ over the last five years, it found that although 13,700 selfies were taken in front of mirrors, the bathroom ranked 25th in the list, with just 4,790 snaps. So not as much free promotion as hoped for all the bathroom retailers and manufacturers!

Surprising, the 'market' topped the list with 31,300 selfies - must be lots of great quality fruit and veg pics in the background of people's pics!, followed by photos taken on a plane at 30,600. The lounge was the third most popular location with 27,300 selfies, while less than 800 photos were taken in the bedroom - or those which people are admitting anyway!

We are not even going to start thinking why over 1000 choose to take toilet selfies!

Bathrooms.com CEO Ian Monk said: “We never expected markets around the world to be the number one spot for taking selfies, however considering the popularity of markets in general as well as their cultural significance in many countries, it’s not as unusual as people might first think."

“Reflecting Bathrooms.com’s 25% increase in mirror sales over the last two years, we weren’t surprised by the number of vain selfies taken in front of mirrors. It was however interesting to see rooms in the home ranking as popular selfie spots too, with the kitchen and lounge making the top 10, with bathrooms lower down the list," added Monk.
