Could somebody from Russia explain this "как жрать суши" (Translation: "How to eat sushi?")? Why it is fastest rising?

Seems like a meme: people encourage others to google for "как жрать суши" and look at the first link. The first link reads "Stop eating sushi, dumbass -- eat borsch and don't show off".

It's interesting.

Normally one would say that visualizing the data would increase it's legibility and ability to interpret it.

With this I actually feel that the most interesting and understandable thing is the listing

If "nicki minaj" is directly under "justin bieber" in fastest rising, why is there a bunch of other stuff between those terms in "fastest rising in entertainment"?

I don't understand how Katy Perry can be on the general fastest rising list, but not on the entertainment fastest rising list? Is this a judgement on Google's part that she isn't entertaining?
