Oh lord, I just put DJT and Covid-19 into Attention Junction and went for a brief walk down Memory Hell Lane. I need to adjust this thing so it can search specific years instead of just spans.

This is EXACTLY why I made MiniGladys, which uses Wikipedia page views to track public interest and allow you to quickly catch up on celebrities.
A quick look tells me that Nicki's last big day of public interest was September 16, 2021: SwollenTesticlesGate.

With the release of new #Epstein photographs, I'm spending some time with AttentionJunction.com. It detects patterns of public interest in two Wikipedia articles, then finds overlaps.
Very useful when you're looking for articles on Woody Allen and Jeffrey Epstein, for example.

Y'all I don't have a David Copperfield file. Instead I'm using a tool called Wikipedia Seismograph. It analyzes Wikipedia page views & creates a "seismograph" of public interest spikes which you can turn to date-bounded Google News searches.

Here's what I'm using to find these news stories: attentionjunction.com . Attention Junction looks at the page views of two Wikipedia articles, finds times of high public interest (view count) and then maps the overlaps in interest between the two articles.

This is Baker's Wikipedia Seismograph from 1 January 2017 to 1 January 2024. You can see between roughly 2020-2022 he was attracting a lot of public interest. It settled down for a while but now it looks like it's swinging up again
