Inside YouTube Search

Every morning, we comb through YouTube's search data to investigate top spiking search terms and the videos they lead to:

• state of the union 2011 - One of this morning's top rising searches is for video of last evening's State of the Union address by President Obama. (It's available here.)
  
  
• brandy bathroom singing - Some older clips of singer Brandy belting out classics in her bathroom seem to be on the rise again this morning.
  
  
• michele bachmann state of the union - Rep. Michele Bachmann's "Tea Party Response" to the State of the Union is also seeing a rise in searches this morning.
