I believe the answer is:

satellites

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'followers' is the definition.
(satellite is a kind of follower)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for satellites that I've seen before include "Celestial bodies" , "Moons" , "Orbiting bodies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
