Quite an interesting list here!

 

1. Kanye West

2. Sarah Harding

3. Russell Watson

4. Bugzy Malone

5. Grimes

6. Duffy

7. Meghan Trainor

8. Wiley

9. Nicola Roberts

10. HRVY

 

All of these I can think of why they'd be here (reality shows and focus in the news mainly), but I can't think of why Meghan Trainor would be up here?

Meghan joined The Voice UK as a coach this year!

 

Love seeing two Girls Aloud members on the list, though I wish Sarah featured for better reasons :(

Ah that makes sense! Might see Anne-Marie there next year then :lol:

How is Sarah Harding #2? :o

How is Sarah Harding #2? :o

Her very sad cancer diagnosis :(

Basically none of these are on the list for reasons related to their actual music. Lol ~

 

(I had to look up Russell Watson which shows how little I paid attention to I'm A Celebrity this year oops)

 

I saw a similar list to this for the US (or possibly worldwide, I forget) and it had Shakira at #1, which seemed pretty odd until realising that her Super Bowl performance - which feels like ancient history at this point - was in fact this year.

I dunno nicola roberts won the masked singer people could of been searching for her own music

Russell Watson has the best selling album and even that barely scraped the top ten. Ye of course will do better when he releases.

Her album went up iTunes after she won, but it didn’t make the official top 100.

That argument can be made for everyone else on the list too. The point is they're on there for reasons other than releasing music.

I'm surprised there aren't any up there for actually releasing music though, like Taylor Swift for example with folklore coming out of nowhere.

I don't think people have any need to google Taylor Swift :D One can go to streaming services and listen her music.

Why is Duffy there?

Why is Duffy there?

She revealed earlier this year that she was kidnapped and raped in 2010 IIRC. Very sad story and explains why she just dropped out of the spotlight at the time. :(

I made a point in the Girls Aloud forum that the big musicians of the year are all very accessible through social media and being reported in the news; in other words, they don't need to be searched for in Google, whereas the names on this list aren't so accessible and you can imagine the audiences of some shows thinking "who???" when it comes to the likes of HRVY and Meghan Trainor.

All it is is a list of celebs really!

Yeah exactly. And in Ye's case, it's just the WTF factor, president candidacy and stuff :lol:

Sarah :cry: honestly I didn't even know, I just was reading up, its heart breaking, and so young at 39

If you type all of these people's names on the Google trends website you will be able to see which period of the year specifically that the most searches were made for them which will help make it clearer why they got so many searches.

Her very sad cancer diagnosis :(

 

Oh, I completely forgot about that. :(
