The Coming Week: 1/25/15-1/31/15

Articles of the Week: Katy Perry and Oculus Rift

Article: Katy Perry
Category: Arts, Entertainment, and Sports
Owner: Hot Chicks & Jesus (Team 2)
Pageviews in January 2014: 497,794
What's coming: The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday February 1, and Katy Perry will be performing. So far, she has been one of the worst performers for Hot Chicks & Jesus (Team 2). Last year, the headliner for the Super Bowl, Bruno Mars, had a spike both before and after the Super Bowl. Katy Perry has seen nothing like that so far. It could be that she is already more well-known than Bruno Mars, and Katy Perry will not get a large bump in pageviews from the Super Bowl.
Unlike Bruno Mars, Katy Perry also had a big year in January 2014. The Grammy awards occurred earlier in 2014 than in 2015. Katy Perry performed at them on January 26, 2014. If Katy Perry results in fewer pageviews in January 2015 and more in February 2015, ultimately, that will be best for Hot Chicks & Jesus. To keep suspense in Fantasy Wikipedia, pageviews in February and March count for more points than pageviews in January.

Article: Oculus Rift
Category: Business, Science, & Technology
Owner: 50 Shades of Wiki (Team 3)
Pageviews in January 2014: 106,792
What's coming: Some articles, like Katy Perry, have a high-profile event with a specific date coming up. Oculus Rift is not exactly like that. It probably will not be a big article this week. In fact, it may not results in many more pageviews at all for 50 Shades of Wiki (Team 3). The virtual reality device is scheduled to be released in 2015. As of December 2014, the company announced that neither a date nor even a quarter had been scheduled for release. 
50 Shades of Wiki should be hoping for a big announcement in February or March, when more pageviews for Oculus Rift matter the most. This could be an interesting one to watch. 50 Shades of Wiki has had a competitive performance so far, and if 50 Shades of Wiki is still in the running in March, a big Oculus Rift announcement would be certain to bring him the team to the top.
