“Googled” – The transitive verb to google refers to using the Google search engine to obtain information on the Web. The American Dialect Society chose it as the “most useful word of 2002.” Check out which celebrities got “Googled” the most in 2010!
No Rihanna? I google her like 10 times a day and with the release of her singles, collabos, album this year there's no way she won't make it into the Top 10 and wtf at no.8? Seems fishy
Her new music from LOUD is mostly in the end of this year, probably Rihanna will get some controversy on Google by the end of this year not talking about Rated R
As usual they didn't cite their method for obtaining said data.
Google is known for not giving ALL the information on Search Results, numbers of searches per month/year, and other such information they like to withhold(while conveniently mining you for every piece of information they can get from you or you provide).
A recent change in their Adwords Keyword Tool was said to be more accurate by SEO Marketers who have noticed a change in the results of visitors by comparing their own traffic to what the Keyword Tool says is there. Google, of course, has said nothing.
So, with Google being shady, and no method told to us to how these numbers were obtained, it's about equal to guess work.
