Hot Ticket
It might be difficult to remember that the TV character Hannah Montana is played by Miley Cyrus. So news that she has changed her name may cause some to break out a chart. Luckily, she's only added a name—changing it to Miley Ray Cyrus, in honor of her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Searchers have been far more interested in "miley cyrus myspace" (+917%) and "new miley cyrus pictures" (+374%) than "miley cyrus name change" and "miley cyrus new name." Maybe folks have become numb to artist name changes after all.
The dual-named singer/actress is ending a sold out concert tour on Thursday. The next day, her 3D film, "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" opens for a week-long run, and it's already selling out.
This week, people have been frantically dialing up "hannah montana 3d movie tickets," boosting the query by 349%. A whopping 56% of those lookups come from kids under 13 (31% and 25% from girls and boys, respectively). Related searches make us think the film will sell out just as easily as the concert tour: "buy hannah montana movie tickets," "disney hannah montana 3d movie," and "hannah montana movie tickets." Just think—if you miss it, there's bound to be a DVD soon to follow.
