Quavo Type Beat +2,003%

Quavo, the co-founder and frontman of popular hip hop trio Migos, continues to make waves in the scene after the group's split. Last week, searches for "Quavo Type Beat" on YouTube skyrocketed by over 2000%, cementing Quavo as one of the most influential rappers in the world right now.

Melodic synths, catchy hooks, and heavy usage of 808s mark the versatile style, which has found cross-genre success in trap and R&B as well. Over the past month, dozens of videos emulating Quavo's signature sound have attracted thousands of views each, showcasing just how many aspiring producers and beatmakers are out there trying to capitalize on its appeal. 

#TB +33,286%

#TB (aka throwback) has seen a whopping 33,286% increase in usage over the week prior. While reminiscing over the past and sharing fond memories is nothing new on Instagram, it appears that Millennials are responsible for driving its resurgence. People are using the hashtag #TB combined with various early 2000s fashion hashtags to share their love for the Y2K fashion trend as well as their own Y2K-inspired looks.

In particular, the @Iconic__Beauties account has recently posted a handful of throwbacks to notable 2000s looks from celebrities such as Hilary SwankKylie Minogue, and Angelina Jolie amongst others. 

YouTube TV Cost +707,750%

Searches for "YouTube TV Cost" have seen a staggering 707,750% increase over the past week. For those unfamiliar, YouTube TV is a live television streaming service that lets users watch live and on-demand TV from over 85 channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN, HGTV, and TNT.

This spike in interest seems to be driven by several recent developments in the YouTube space. After winning a bid to secure NFL Sunday Ticket last year, YouTube TV is bringing the full package to users for the 2023-2024 NFL season at a price of $299. Additionally, the platform's recent changes to its ad policy, including longer ad breaks for TV viewers and the removal of some creator ad control, could have contributed to the increased interest in the platform's pricing structure.
