The word "#tebaklagu" has become the most talked about topic on Twitter on Tuesday, March 30. Microbloggers are translating the names of English songs and lyrics into Indonesian and vice versa, adding the hashtag "tebaklagu" to their posts.
The "#Nowplaying" meme is sitting comfortably at number two on the Twitter charts as people tweet about the songs they are listening to.
In third place is the stage name of Puerto Rican pop singer Enrique Martin Morales, Ricky Martin. People have taken to their Twitter accounts to talk about his blog-post "revelation" where he describes himself as being "a fortunate homosexual man."
"Honestly, I thought #Ricky Martin came out YEARS ago," "Ricky Martin is gay. In other news: The sky is blue and the grass is green," and "Ricky Martin is gay, which everyone knew but he'd never admitted. Way to make out like it's something to be ashamed of," wrote some users who had come to terms with the news years ago despite Martin's continual denial.
"#YouMightWannaStop" enters onto Twitter's trending topic list at number four followed by the hashtag "goodman."
The name of Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber has moved up one place to number seven. "#Youcantbeserious" is sitting at number eight and "Easter" has moved down one position to number nine.
