Let's Get Statistical

Andrew Bradley's picture

Google Insights is a fun way to find out what's going on in the music business.

Here is a graph showing the three synthpop divas - La Roux, Florence & The Machine, Little Boots in terms of searches on Google over the last year:

Interesting, because it shows interest peaking and dropping off, except for Little Boots who seems to sustain a low level of interest.

Tracking the growth in interest yields interesting results...

This data appears to show that Little Boots will sustain a career whereas the other two attract and repel people at high volume.

Does anyone have any other good graphs from Google Insights?

The Beatles

Although there's been the expected spike over the last month, the overall trend is most definitely downwards...

The Queen of Pop

A flatlined Kylie isn't much of a surprise, but Madonna's current tour/viral mayhem isn't having much effect on the inevitable, is it?

U2 & Coldplay

They clearly share most of the same audience and their releases and tours are timed deliberately to not coincide:

Note also the gradual decline present in this graph for both acts.

Shouldn´t that big blue thing on the left

have happened when they released that Batman song Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me in 95?

(Song title remembered without double checking. I RULE!)

statistics are fun

so you can see a tight correlation with richard thompson tracking hotdogs but no interest at all on the whole for bad jazz
