Contents
According to Google Trends, electronic dance music is on the rise. This is good news for EDM fans and producers alike.
Introduction
Since the early 2000s, electronic dance music (EDM) has been on the rise in popularity all over the world. From festivals like Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival to mainstream hits like “Clarity” by Zedd, EDM has taken over the music scene. And according to Google Trends, this trend is only getting bigger.
In the past five years, there has been a sharp increase in searches for EDM-related terms. In 2013, the top searched EDM artist was Avicii, followed by Skrillex, Hardwell, and Tiesto. In 2014, these searches more than doubled. The top searched artists were Avicii, Martin Garrix, Tiesto, and Skrillex. And in 2015, the top searched artists were The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Hardwell.
This trend is not just limited to artist searches. General searches for “EDM” have also increased significantly in the past five years. In 2013, there were just over 1 million searches for “EDM” worldwide. This number grew to over 2 million in 2014 and 3 million in 2015.
What does this trend tell us? It seems that people are becoming more and more interested in EDM every year. With festivals getting bigger and more popular, and mainstream artists incorporating EDM into their songs, it’s no wonder that Google Trends is seeing such a rise in searches for EDM-related content.
What is Google Trends?
Google Trends is a public web facility of Google Inc., based on Google Search, that shows how often a particular search-term is entered relative to the total search-volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages.
The horizontal axis of the main graph represents time (starting from 2004), and the vertical is how often people have searched for the term. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. Likewise a score of 0 means the term was less than 1% as popular as the peak.
How to Use Google Trends
Google Trends is a free tool that can be used to track the relative popularity (based on data from Google) of specific keywords over time. You can use it to measure interest in topics, conduct research on products or services, or track the popularity of hashtags.
To get started, visit google.com/trends and enter a keyword or phrase in the search bar. For example, if you wanted to track the popularity of the keyword “coffee,” you would enter “coffee” into the search bar and hit enter.
By default, Google Trends will show you data for the past five years. However, you can adjust this timeframe by clicking on the “Date range” drop-down menu and selecting a new time frame.
Below the search bar, you’ll see a line graph that tracks the relative popularity of your keyword over time. You can hover over specific points on the graph to see more detailed data for that particular time period.
To the right of the line graph, you’ll see a list of related topics and queries. These are topics and queries that are closely related to your original keyword and may be worth exploring further.
At the bottom of the page, you’ll find a section called “Interest by region.” This section shows you which parts of the world are searching for your keyword most often. You can use this information to tailor your content to specific geographical regions.
Google Trends is a valuable tool for any marketer or researcher who wants to track trends over time or understand geographical differences in interest level.
