We're 24 hours removed from Super Bowl 46, in which the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots 21-17. But it was neither the Giants nor Patriots that people were searching for most last night on Google during the game. It was Madonna.
Top Super Bowl XLVI Searches & Trends
Google has revealed the Super Bowl search trends. Overall, the top trending searches on Google during the game were:
•Madonna
•Halftime show
•Patriots
•Tom Brady
•Giants
Above all the players, Madonna took the spotlight as the most-searched term during the game. Other top searches for halftime performers during the game were LMFAO, Kelly Clarkson, and Nicki Minaj.
Madonna's halftime performance was also a hot trend on Twitter. During the halftime show, there were 10,245 tweets-per-second, good for third on Twitter's all-time list. However, as the final moments of the game ticked down, the number of tweets hit 12,233 per second, good for second place – and both far greater than the tweets per second count during last year's Super Bowl. (Japanese anime movie "Castle in the Sky" set the record for most tweets per second in December: 25,088)
Although the Giants may have won the Super Bowl, the Patriots won the online search query bowl. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady broke Joe Montana’s record for consecutive passes during the Super Bowl, and also was the most searched player of the game. Giants QB and Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, and Patriots running back Danny Woodhead rounded out the top five players trending during the game.
