Note
A plural that mostly belongs to one meaning of following: a body of followers or admirers. Each band, team or politician has its own following, so several of them have followings. The phrase the following, introducing what comes next, never takes the -s even when it points to many things: write "the following are required," not "the followings." The adjective, meaning coming next in sequence, has no plural at all.
