Here are this year’s top pop culture events, inadvertently presented by month as YouTube search terms.
Fastest Rising YouTube search terms by month (U.S.):January: obama inaugurationFebruary: on a boatMarch: watchmenApril: susan boyleMay: pacquiaoJune: michael jackson thrillerJuly: wedding [JK Wedding Entrance Dance]August: send it onSeptember: kanye westOctober: paranormal activityNovember: adam lambertDecember: tiger woods
YouTube adds that [michael jackson] was this year’s fastest growing search term and [michael jackson thriller] became the fastest rising search on YouTube in 2009, too.
So don’t worry, Tiger, it’s still not all about you.
3 of the most popular people searched for on youtube were African American males: Obama, Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods. Not to mention Kanye West. Interesting that the only white male (Adam Lambert) on the list is a gay male singer. I think we’re at a turning point in the U.S. … Just an observation by a white American who’s in my late 40’s.
