Can searches predict the X Factor 2009 Winner?
By Charles-Henry Ruyant
A few months ago Google tried to predict the result of the Eurovision Song Contest by studying the number of searches on each contestant. The weird thing was that Google was right, correctly guessing the winner of the Eurovision contest before everyone else.
There is definitely a relation between the number of searches and the results of a vote (at least where entertainment is concerned). We can also use YouTube to see how many users saw contestants on video, although it is harder to geo targeted the result.
This technique is not alwyas… accurate, do you remember Susan Boyle (Britains Got Talent) was by far on top of YouTube viewings as well as the number of searches but at the end did not win.
Now lets see if Google/YouTube can give us the winner of the X factor 2009.
Based on Google insight (UK search only), the winner will be……….. Danyl Johnson, followed by Jamie Archer.
Searches X factor Winner
If we look at YouTube top watched videos we have once again Danyl Johnson but this time followed by Stacey Soloman.

So based on the above, the next X – Factor winner is Danyl Johnson! Let see in few months if I am right…
