User blog:DZYDZY/Who's the Most Popular Engloid on Youtube?

Repost: the sequel

After looking at the NND Vocaloid popularity stats, I was interested to try and work out which English Vocaloids see the most usage by collecting some data from Youtube.

However, I'm limited as I can't create a programs to trawl all the videos and calculate averages. There's also the fact that unlike NND, Youtube doesn't have a dedicated tagging system, at least not in the same way.

What I did was make the most exact search I could (to try and receive Vocaloid only results), and recorded the amount of hits. Because I do not have in depth knowledge of how Youtube's search function works, any advice in terms of what phrases I should search for would be appreciated. For Vocaloids with common names I prefaced the search with "vocaloid", but I wasn't sure whether to keep the format or drop it for Vocaloids whose names were unique. Here's exactly what I keyed in for each:


 * 1) "yohioloid": 40,700 hits (???)
 * 2) "gumi english": 34,100 hits
 * 3) "miku english": 29,100 hits
 * 4) I tried multiple things for Avanna – first searching "avanna", then minusing the number of results from "avanna" -vocaloid -vocaloid3, this got me: 28290 hits
 * 5) "vocaloid oliver": 17,200 hits
 * 6) "kaito english": 14,500 hits
 * 7) "luka english": 12,400 hits
 * 8) "vocaloid miriam": 5,580 hits
 * 9) "vocaloid prima": 5,150 hits
 * 10) "vocaloid sweet ann": 4,950 hits
 * 11) "vocaloid sonika": 4,630 hits
 * 12) "meiko english": 3,790 hits
 * 13) "vocaloid leon": 3,270 hits
 * 14) "vocaloid lola": 2,580 hits
 * 15) "vocaloid tonio": 2,040 hits

I'm slightly suspicious of Yohioloid's results, does anyone have any suggestions?
