Facebook Fan numbers update

On my never ending search for more numbers to compile, I was able to grab the latest Facebook fan numbers for the final nine contestants to see how they have changed since I first reported them April 1. The rankings based on total fan count have not changed but there are some interesting trends:

1. Crystal Bowersox, was 40,576 now 45,328, gained 4,752 (11.7% increase)
2. Andrew Garcia, was 38,396 now 40,179, gained 1,783 (4.6% increase)
3. Casey James, was 27,662 now 28,694, gained 1,032 (3.7% increase)
4. Aaron Kelly, was 23,527 now 24,812, gained 1,285 (5.2% increase)
5. Katie Stevens, was 18,536 now 19,264, gained 727 (3.9% increase)
6. Lee Dewyze, was 14,887 now 18,394, gained 3,507 (23.6% increase)
7. Siobhan Magnus, was 14,845 now 16,173, gained 1,328 (8.9% increase)
8. Tim Urban, was 8,746, now 10,122 gained 1,366 (15.6% increase)
9. Mike Lynche, was 3,805 now 4,104 gained 299 (7.2% increase)

The obvious big winner in Facebook fans over the past week was Lee Dewyze who had been about the same as Siobhan but now is getting closer to Katie's fan count. He gained a whopping 23.6% more Facebook fans due to his performance last week. Another amazing statistic here is the second highest percentage gainer was Tim Urban who gained 15.6% more fans, and with 1366 new fans has the 4th highest number of new fans behind #1 Crystal (4752), #2 Lee (3507) and #3 Andrew (1783). Why is Tim getting so many more new fans? Another interesting stat is how many new fans and total fans Crystal now has. Her 4,752 new fans is 13.6% more new fans than Lee received even though he was perceived as the big "breakthrough" performance last week. Her total count of 45,328 is now more than 10% higher than the 40,179 of second place Andrew Garcia, and more than 10x more than Big Mike Lynche. This really needs a graph, which I will probably compile next week when I will have three data points.
