[artist id="3187077"]Justin Bieber[/artist] loves his fans. He's pretty open about his adoration for the people that made him the star he is today, launching him from YouTube sensation to household name and chart-topping megastar. And the 16-year-old is particularly appreciative of their use of a certain social-networking site to keep him on top.

"They make me a trending topic on Twitter every day," [article id="1635908"]Bieber told MTV News[/article]. "It's pretty incredible. My fans have made me a trending topic every day. I don't think there's been a day in the past month that I haven't. So, it's pretty incredible.

"I love Twitter," Bieber added. He finds tweeting the perfect way to share his comings and goings and to communicate directly with a few lucky girls whenever possible. "For sure I use it for being able to interact with my fans as well as promote stuff."

So, how does [article id="1634683"]Bieber decide which followers[/article] to reply to or retweet? "It just depends. It's kind of, like, it's random," he said. "It's not really anyone specifically. It's just kind of a random thing."

But whoever he chooses, Bieber says they are always surprised. "They're like, 'I never thought you were gonna respond.' And I say, 'You thought wrong.' "
