Just after recent Valentine
week, “Viber”,Pioneer app in mobile
messaging, voice and video service has analyzed its sticker sales data across
a period of last one year to determine which countries are the most romantic.
When it comes to declaring love nations choose to express themselves differently and as a picture can express more
than what a big sentence or conversation can’t convey , when it comes to
saying “I love you” more and people are choosing to say it with a sticker in
online world. As per the data analysed by Viber more than 22 billion stickers sent worldwide last year on Viber.
They analysed the 10 best-selling stickers in each country in 2014 to determine
how many were love-related.
India is among the top performing countries in
the love department with five best-selling love stickers being used out of the
list of top ten, a kissing couple was the most popular sticker in India, Japan & Germany. The Latin countries were the leaders in the love
department. Spain took the number
one spot with seven love-related stickers in the top 10 with Italy and France were tied in second place. A kissing couple was the most
popular sticker in both the UK and
Thailand – one of just two love stickers in the top ten for each country.
Russia and Vietnam had similar tastes, with a kissing couple in the top spot,
but no other love stickers in the top 10.
USA was one of only three countries that did
not have a love-related message in first place. The most popular sticker in
America was Freddie, a cartoon fox, saying ‘Hi’, with only two love-related
stickers in its top 10 overall. Love didn’t make it to the top of the charts in
The Philippines or Singapore either, although kiss stickers came in second and
fourth place respectively. According to the data, romance was not on the agenda
in Myanmar – without a single love-sticker in the top 10.
The most used sticker across
the world in 2014 was a kissing couple. And, with day-to-day chat becoming more
and more romantic, 2015 could well see the ‘Virtual Valentine’ taking over from
the traditional greetings card.
