The Idolator Hype Index (Week Of 2.19.12)
Well, Chris Brown certainly gave the Internet plenty to talk about this week! When he wasn’t getting it on in the studio with formerly-embattled-but-now-totally-over-it ex-girlfriend Rihanna, the pot-stirring “Birthday Cake” remixer was picking fights and blasting critics on Twitter. It was a lot to take in, and that’s why Breezy ranks so high on our Pop & Fizz chart this time around. (Remember, we measure each artist or major news story according to their size, or “Rank”, and then we weigh how they’re faring overall in the pop zeitgeist, or “Hype”.) Head below to see who stole our hearts — and who broke ’em. To see exactly how these artists entered the hype index, check below.
