How to find trending media topics

You find trending media topics by tracking search volume growth rather than absolute volume. A topic is trending when its monthly searches are accelerating, even from a small base. Exploding Topics classifies every media topic as Exploding, Regular or Peaked based on the shape of its search curve over time.

  1. Sort by growth rate, not by search volume.
  2. Filter to the last 3 to 6 months to catch topics before they saturate.
  3. Check volatility before committing. High-volatility topics spike and fade.
