#1 Lana Del Rey - 722,000,000 Results

(2011 Rank: None) If you had polled our office, no one would have guessed that Lana Del Rey would top the Most Popular Women According to Google list. But she did. By an absolute landslide.

 

It's only when you try to figure out why she's so popular that you realize how much she's accomplished in the short time she's been in the public eye (considering she's only been a household name since October of 2011). Starting from the beginning, she got a chance to perform on SNL before even releasing a record, bombed that spot, did a modeling shoot with H&M, was linked to Axel Rose, and then released not one, but two albums in 2012.

No less than 721 million of those results belonged to little crazed fanboy ~me~ back in January/February.

#3 - Cher (398 million results - #4 last year)

 

Cher? 3rd? O_o

 

As for Lana I google her name daily at least 3 to 5 times since november of last year so :

(5*7)*52 = 1820 searches/year

 

Let's say she has a hardcore fanbase of 150 000 people :

150 000*1820 = 273 000 000 searches from her stans

 

Which make

722 000 000 - 273 000 000 = 449 000 000 searches from non fan.

 

Let's say that random people googled her 3 times this year :

449 000 000 / 3 = 149 666 666

 

So this means basically 150 million people know who Lana Del Rey is or at least have been curious to find more about her.

[Summertime Sadness 112]

I'm happy, but the numbers are a little too much imo.

[Luda 167]

Wow.

[Mariann 255]

I wonder how many of these people were trying to find information about Lana and how many were just searching for new leaks. It's great that she is number 1 in this list but I guess some professional recognition like Grammy nominations would be of much greater importance to her.

[COLACNT 5,178]

if you love her you google her, if you hate her you google her

 

she's #1 because no one is indifferent when it comes to her

[WarInMyMind 50]

I'm proud

[HeavenBaby51 87]

Hahaha.

I'm glad I contributed to this honor by searching Lana related things on Google at least 10 times a day.

:creepy:

You're making my brain hurt, Lily. Stop.

 

 

I bet a big chunk of these results are akin to people slowing down as they drive by an accident.

[evilentity 13,343]

I'm kind of surprised all my Lana stalking sleuthing didn't put "Lizzy Grant" on the list.

[Hello Heaven 1,578]

When I first saw this, it surprised me but the amount of Lana sleuthing us lot do alone makes up a large portion of that. There's a lot more mystery (and lies) about her compared to other big stars who are pretty open about themselves.

 

But Cher? At number 3?

[IamThatGirlLily 533]

You're making my brain hurt, Lily. Stop.

 

 

Hey, I never told you "you made my brain hurt" when you wrote your 2 pages long music/instrumental/guitare/autotune/music-making-with-Lana-dream/ladybug-in-unicorn-land related posts! You hurt my feeling Moniker.

 

 

 

[PrettyBaby 2,219]

Cher? 3rd? O_o

Yeah, huh?

 

I bet a big chunk of these results are akin to people slowing down as they drive by an accident.

It all counts!!!

 

if you love her you google her, if you hate her you google her

 

she's #1 because no one is indifferent when it comes to her

Exactly

 

I don't know... Grammys give more professional bragging rights, maybe, but I think this is still meaningful in its own way.

[paradise27390 206]

I just read this on a Cher forum (Cher's rank surprises me I must say... probably mixed results with that spoon Cher Lloyd)!

 

WELL DONE, DEL REY!

 

[naachoboy 7,993]

well thats great haha, but i think we contributed to get this numbers a lot :legend:

[Mommy's Mercedes 63]

lol, pretty surre 50% of those searches are TeamLana looking for DL Links. So happy for Lizzy!!

[SissyRëyLDRsparkjumprope 63]

I'm gonna say 50% of those searches are me bored on a saturday night. :gasm

[Hellion 993]

[Viva 3,169]

Go Lanaaaa!!

Is this global or for searches based in the USA?

 

PS: The fact that Paris Hilton is number 13 and not 50 annoys me

PS 2: the fact that Paris Hilton is on the list annoys me even more
