The X-Factor Winner 2009 based on Google searches is… (Part 2)

By Charles-Henry Ruyant

A few months back, when there were still 24 X-factor contestants I predicted, based on Google search results, that the winner of the X Factor 2009 would be Danyl Johnson, followed by Stacey Solomon.

Today these two X Factor contestants are still part of the show, where only ten of them are left. So far my previous prediction has been proved right…but obviously since the month of September, a lot happened and there are many others new influences which will effect how the general public vote. Now lets see who the new X-factor winner should be based on the most recent Google searches.

If we look at the last 7 days (UK only) the 2009 X-Factor winner is the group John and Edward, but if you follow the show you know that they probably not going to win… so the proper X-factor winner would be Lloyd Daniels or Lucie Jones follows by Olly Murs and Jamie Archer.

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.
