No shock here: Beyoncé’s self-titled visual album crushes the competition. No one is better at working the whims of the Internet to her advantage, whether it’s by surprise-dropping the record on iTunes or by sending out carefully calibrated Instagrams to stoke the rumor mill. Again, we calibrated the results to determine the average number of searches from the time of the release until the end of 2014, and Beyoncé’s album collected about 600,000 per month. Ed Sheeran’s X, the next best, only received an average of 168,000 queries. What’s more, this is the one case in which popularity matches up with acclaim, since Beyoncé is the critical favorite to win on Sunday.

Who's surprised?

Damn. Just damn.

My King

people had to google it because they didnt know what it was because it was a big secret until it came out

this isn't that surprising lmao

also, it is self-titled so surely these searches would also be searches for her name?? how can they differentiate which are for her album and which are for her

and Beyoncé’s album collected about 600,000 per month. PER MONTH. Well damn

But..

if she doesnt get the grammy, i do not care. the acclaim alone this album has gotten is enough for me...

And to think that some of the girls said that the hype died after a month. Woo.

it's an average

that means it wasn't pulling 600000 every month, some months it was pulling more + some months it was pulling less

The biggest star in the world

Meaning that certain months it pulled even more than 600k searches. Damn.

Damn

The media knows She should win . if she looses i expect no less then them to drag the grammys

queen but did you think that a google search of beyonce is not usually about the album but about her? these results are very skewed

correct!! likely the months closest to release for the reason i originally stated

Slay fav!!
