Virgin Media have released their top 10 voice-controlled searches from the past 30 days, as 69% of Virgin Media customers are now using voice search capabilities on a weekly basis.
Using voice search allows individuals of all ages to effortlessly search for the content they want to consume, be it on linear channels, via streaming services such as YouTube, Prime or Netflix, or from on-demand players.
The topmost voice-searched show was Love Island, bringing up results for the OG show as well as spin-offs welcoming previous cast members in Love Island: All Stars and fan-favourite islanders from various Love Island series in Love Island Games.
The Irish love their soaps, with all the action from Albert Square coming in 2nd place with fan favourite Eastenders. Other popular soap operas also appeared in the top 10 searches, with Coronation Street in 4th place, Emmerdale in 6th and Fair City in 7th.
Coming in as the 3rd most popular search by voice control was Peppa Pig, as children’s TV was also highly popular in the top 10 rankings, with YouTube’s Miss Rachel in 5th position, Cocomelon in 8th, Paw Patrol in 9th and Bluey in 10th.
Paul Higgins, VP of Consumer of Virgin Media said, “Voice control is available on Virgin Media’s new Streaming TV, making it even easier to find the content you love no matter where it lives at the push of a button. It’s great to see more and more customers are making use of voice control capabilities, making our products more accessible for people of all ages.”
Voice control is available on Virgin Media’s new Streaming TV, making it even easier to find the shows you love no matter where they live with one single search.
