Celebrities, and Consumerism are 90% of the most searched items all year? It's kind of sad really.
- dkasper 15y agoCelebrities and consumer products a) appeal to the widest demographic of people and b) are more quickly changing than most other things, and seeing how this list is entirely based on year over year percentage change in search volume it makes a lot of sense.
- leot 15y agoNote that these are not the most searched terms this year. They're the terms most-searched-for that had not previously been much-searched-for. Ultimately, there is a certain amount of arbitrariness in this ranking, since they have to trade-off relative-to-last-year search frequency and absolute search frequency of the terms.
