This was collected from Google Trends, if I have done something wrong please tell me!

Janet. The queen of Internet

Sidenote: If Janet holds highest peak, why is britney number 1 on your highest peaks.

Britney's breakdown puts her very high. Rihanna and Bey are rapidly catching up.

Google trends is like Billboard's Trending 140.

Why

2006? Is that supposed to be 2009 with the Chris Brown thing?

Wait @ Selena ranking above Katy and Taylor

Google trends chanteuses.

That was a typo, sorry.

What happened to Britney in December 2006 ? I thought her highest peak would be 2007...

I'm surprised Srlena is so high...

Of course Britney, Rihanna or Beyoncé would be topping, they have years of advantage

If you search from Jan 2008 to today, Gaga is above Bey and Britney.

The use of internet rose drastically in the last 6 years so it's natural that the list mostly includes artists who came up in 2008-now

Selena had 13 million people watching wizards of waverly place (24million worldwide)

She was either mid-breakdown or building up to the breakdown during that time. Either way, she was garnering a ton of headlines during 2006-07.

+ maybe because she dated Justin as well?

P!nk is always screwed on lists like this because most people outside of standom don't spell her name P!nk they spell it Pink

I'm still not understanding why Janet wouldn't be number 1 for highest peak.
