Was going to post this on PJ's Thread, but thought most of you would want to see this and may not click the thread.



PJ asked which was more Googled, X Factor or Big Brother.

Most of us agreed Big Brother and I now have the official statistics.

The X Factor

An interesting pattern shows that the 2006 and 2007 series of X Factor proved less popular with Google users whilst 2005 and 2008's series seemed to be more searched.

Although the show gradually becomes more popular as the years went on starting from 2008 onwards.

2010's series is the most Googled so far, as shown on the graph below.



The X Factor is also most Googled World Wide, In Dublin, Ireland.
And in terms of British Cities, It's most searched for in Belfast in Northern Ireland.




Big Brother

Well this is very interesting my friends and should come in handy in future arguments with Yanks.
World Wide, the word Big Brother has been googled more in The United Kingdom than it has been in any other country that does the show, with USA not even appearing on the Top 10.



In terms of The United Kingdom,
The show is most googled in Scotland closely followed by Northern Ireland and then England.

Another interesting fact,
Big Brother 5 in 2004 was the most googled Big Brother ever.

Big Brother 7 back in 2006 also very popular.
Series 6 falls in popularity from Big Brother 5.

Big Brother 8 onwards, as shown by the show itself and this is why I'm quite fascinated by this the way people's minds worked...

After 2006, Big Brother began falling in popularity however Big Brother 8 remained more searched than Big Brother 9 in 2008. [Quite Annoyed]

Big Brother 10 then drops even more in popularity after that but thankfully by 2010 the popularity did begin to pick up again since BB10 but didn't quite become as searched as BB9 but still more popular than the 10th Series.

And the Top 3 Most Searched Big Brother terms since 2008 are:

Big Brother Axed
The BB9 Cast
Dowling Wins Ultimate Big Brother

I'd also like to update you all on how TiBB has been doing on Google's Search Engine!

No statistics showing up for 2001 - 2007.
But I can reveal that This Is Big Brother Forums has been googled more times in 2008 than it has been in 2009.

2010 Slightly more popular though than 2008 and England is the most popular country in terms of who's googling TiBB.

But yes to sum it up,

Big Brother is alot more popular than X Factor has been on Google although in terms of 2010, X Factor wins.

But other than that, Big Brother has it.



Woah I feel like I'm being a weatherman or something, seriously.
