The first rule of Twitter trends: never underestimate the power of American Awards shows. While we have seen steady international sports, entertainment and beat out the cultural policy trends bigger than U.S. on Twitter, American broadcasts like Grammys last weekend will almost always be pie. Powered by surprise win of Esperanza Spalding as Best New Artist (a powerful sub-trend in itself), the Grammys were number one this week the Twitterverse.
Holidays always accumulate enough power in the trend to make the chart, and it's not a surprise to see the Valentines day pop in number two (Muslim observance of the birth of Muhammad, Maulid Nabi, will appear at number eight). In addition, consider the trends top entertainment last week, shuffle them around a bit and you have the most chart this week.
