If you’ve heard the latest novelty dance music hit #SELFIE you’ll recall that the song’s protagonist ponders aloud which filter she should use, X-Pro II or Valencia. After hearing it for the millionth time, it struck me that there is a data-backed answer to that question.

Little preliminary investigation was done and found that there has been no large scale analysis of selfie posting yet done. So we gathered a dataset of just over 160,000 Instagram images tagged with #Selfie and did some analysis. We looked at filters, tags and colors to find out exactly how you can post your most liked selfie yet.
