Hashtags are used to group together tweets relating to the same subject.
Top of the list was #egypt, followed by #tigerblood.
The first refers to the unrest in Egypt during the spring of 2011 while the second references a comment made by actor Charlie Sheen, following his sacking from a hit US comedy.
Sheen made the headlines in 2011 for a series of often rambling public rants which culminated with the comment to online celebrity gossip site RadarOnline: "My fangs are dripping tiger blood."
At the same time, he joined Twitter and racked up one million followers in the first 24 hours, believed to be a record for the site.
He used the site to comment on the dispute between him and the Two And A Half Men show's producers, at one point tweeting: "I'm looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood."
