When you start to talking to talk about trending searches in Google, and any kind of predictive method, you are really walking the line, with hard data on one side and gut intuition on the next. It really is an incredible display of the collective consciousness. Things generally 'trend' after something stimulates the collective consciousness. Those stimuli can come from news, television, weather, and word of mouth (social media is technically word of mouth) buzz. Incident happens and is reported, topics trend, more reporting is done as a response to public interest, and the increased exposure makes the subject matter more popular.
I found a very easy way to say ahead of Google Trends with a TV guide, or the online guide of your cable company, which gives you descriptions of the upcoming shows. It provides you with a good idea of the subject matter for the upcoming day. The news is fickle, and subjects wane quickly, and it's way too much information to take in at once. This method certainly helps you see what's coming.
