Quick: which song made the highest debut in American Top 40? It was Erotica by Madonna at Number 2 in October 1992. The movie and book were banned in a number of places around the world, so the publicity must have helped on AT40.
Look at the hype cycle Gartner issued a year ago here. Now look at the new one issued last week. Look at the debutantes - Ajax, Web 2.0, Mashups, Social Network Analysis. Badge of honor that couple of them show up in the Trough of Disillusionment in their first placement. So which corporations and governments banned them?
BTW - Jackie Fenn of Gartner has been developing this cycle for just about as long as Casey Kasem.
