Slam dunks
Zach Edey and Caitlin Clark were the most popular players to appear, while both coaches who won the tournament – Dan Hurley and Dawn Staley – also held strong. Women’s basketball saw unprecedented popularity.
The most recent post-tournament action involves coaches Dan Hurley (up 435%) – head coach of the National Champion University of Connecticut Huskies, and John Calipari (up 377%) – headed from University of Kentucky to University of Arkansas as the Razorback’s new head coach.
Basketball as an overall category hit a three-pointer – becoming the #3 most discussed topic.

Country music stars dominated the chart this month, thanks to the CMT awards – with ‘music’ as a number one category. Artists like Trisha Yearwood rose by 248%, Kelsea Ballerini was up by 348%, and chatter around Morgan Wallen soared by 571%.

Wallen hit the headlines after being arrested following an accusation the star threw a chair off a bar roof – which landed near two police officers. Thankfully no one was hurt, and there’s a possibility that Wallen was just trying to play a very unique version of musical chairs. Maybe?
