Alex's IMDb STARmeter

Post by Lilly »

IMDb has a popularity ranking known as STARmeter. It's really just a measure of the "buzz" surrounding a personality or a project.

IMDb's description is:

"STARmeter rankings provide a snapshot of who's popular based on the searches of millions of IMDb users. Updated weekly, these rankings also graph the popularity of people over time and determine which events affect public awareness."

We thought it would be interesting to track this number for our favorites actors.

This week, Alex's STARmeter is at:

2010 Jul 18 -- #781


Alex's STARmeter hit an all time "high" the week after The Back-up Plan opened. (Actually, the lower the number the better the score.)

2010 Apr 25 -- #23

Here's a snapshot of the last few weeks:

2010 Jul 11 -- #663
2010 Jul 04 -- #640
2010 Jun 27 -- #552
2010 Jun 20 -- #470
2010 Jun 09 -- #414


For point of reference, here are some other highlights...

2010 Feb 14 -- #434 - Alex O'Loughlin to star in 'Hawaii Five-0'
2009 Dec 06 -- #1003 - Three Rivers: A Roll of the Dice
2009 Oct 04 -- #750 - Three Rivers: Place of Life
2009 Sep 13 -- #663 - Whiteout
2009 May 03 -- #345 - Criminal Minds: The Big Wheel


The best score he had during Moonlight's run was: 235, the week "B.C." aired.

The week before Moonlight premiered, his score was 2367.


These numbers vary widely from week to week depending on how much "buzz" is going on. But, it's fun to see how much interest is been generated.

One note: This data is only available to IMDb Pro accounts. I'd appreciate it if this info was not copied elsewhere -- it's for our own entertainment here on MLA. :thumbs:

Wow. So I guess he's never seen 2367 since! :ysmile: Hopefully he'll see 23 again pretty soon tho...
Thanks for the intriguing data, Lilly . :twothumbs:

This is really interesting. I love poking around in IMDB, but I've never bothered to get a pro account. I might get one--there's a lot of cool stuff that's only available to pro members...

I wonder if Alex's buzz will go up as we approach the debut of H50... I imagine that it'll go way up after people start watching the show...

It looks like the buzz from TCA kept up the interest that was generated at ComicCon...

Given all the promos for H50, I woulda thought it might even be slightly lower... or more... however you express that...
Tho I guess his name is not in any of the commercials... anyway, holding steady.

It'll be interesting to see what happens as the premiere approaches...

Alex is down a bit this week...

2010 Aug 8 -- 746


:chin: At this point, unless there's some big news, I'm not expecting his score to move very much until the week H50 premieres.

:rolling: So the casting of Masi Oka redounded to Alex's benefit?
I'm ok with that. :teeth:

Yep. Alex went up 82 points, while Masi himself only gained 52 ... he went from 3658 to 3606. :snicker:

Well, that hardly seems fair, does it?! :snicker: But then again, there were other factors besides just Masi joining the cast, one assumes...
