People need to stop running to that Google Trends website acting like its some grand wizard of popularity. All that tells you is the popularity of a single search query, that's all. Gaga was able to have one of the highest grossing tours, even when uncompleted, and a commercially successful perfume in the time that Gaga is supposedly "fading" from Google.
People run to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, or other online foolishness when they don't have any real receipts to provide. If you have 55 million people following you on Facebook and you can't even get 10% of them to buy your album, how relevant is that number?

I just realised the reason Kesha is so low is because she spelt it with a dollar sign. If you spell it 'Kesha' it is almost the same as Gaga.

Kesha is an actual first name though. It would be like using "Chris" to try to judge Chris Brown's number. It's very hard to judge her actual number on that site because many people search for her under both "ke$ha" and "kesha", but there are going to be far more searches unrelated to her on the latter query.
It's actually a very good lesson on why this is a bad measurement of popularity.
