I don't think coverage of something would in itself make it popular. Popularity is defined by the number of people who believe in or follow a creed.
Sunni is the most popular form of Islam. Shi'a in the second most popular. Sufism is a minority.

Of course, those articles reference sources written by experts in their field, and last I checked you believed that experts were like children who believed in Santa Claus. So, maybe your psychic has some more reliable numbers?
