Things People Are Googling About Country Music
Google Trends just did a big country music round-up on what people have been searching for.
Last week, they said there were twice as many searches for the phrase “country music” than the phrase “pop music.”
Here are a few more stats they dug up…
1. Lyrics for “Mamaw’s House” by Thomas Rhett and Morgan Wallen were a top-trending search recently.
2. They also looked at the top “Is [BLANK] a country singer?” searches. Taylor Swift is #1 on that list, followed by Zach Bryan and Jelly Roll.
3. Google DOES still think Taylor is a country star, apparently. They say the most searched country music artists of the year so far are Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton, Zach Bryan, and Luke Combs.
And finally, here are the top five questions about country music last week…
1. “How to watch the ‘People’s Choice Country Awards’?” They aired live on NBC and Peacock last Thursday.
2. “Is Toby Keith sick?” He was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2021. But he made a triumphant return to the stage at Thursday’s show.
3. “Is Country Music Awards on tonight?” No, the CMAs are on November 8th. That was probably people searching for the “People’s Choice Country Awards”.
4. “How old is Toby Keith?” He turned 62 in July.
5. “How old is Wynonna Judd?” She’s 59. People were googling her because she got the first ever “Country Champion Award” at Thursday’s ceremony for all the charity work she’s done.
