Says who?? Says Google and their omnipresent search engine! According to Google Keyword Tool, about 6.1 million searched for Adam Lambert in March while about 5 million searched for Carrie Underwood. That’s a difference of 1 million which is quite big considering the American Idol finalist is a newcomer while Carrie is a veteran award-winner already! And surprisingly, according to Google Trends, Adam Lambert’s fans centered in country music territory! Yup, Carrie Underwood’s territory! Imagine that, him beating her in her own demographics ^_^

Apparently, Arkansas, Utah, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee are the 10 states with the highest per-capita search volume for him. If you remember, Adam Lambert confused country music mentor Randy Travis with his rendition of “Ring of Fire,” a performance that was called “over-indulgent” by American Idol judge Simon Cowell. As for the other four finalists, only Kris Allen is drawing a great deal of search volume, attracting 550,000 searches in March. Search volume for Danny Gokey, Allison Iraheta and Matt Giraud have produced “insufficient data” according to Google.
