Bing searches show it was a year of familiar faces, momentous
events and baby fever. While last year people were singing “Baby, baby,
baby” with Justin Bieber as the most-searched person of 2011, 2012 was
the year of the real baby, as celebrity births were five of the top 10
celebrity events. From new reality stars such as Honey Boo Boo to viral
hits such as “Gangnam Style” and airwave darlings such as Taylor Swift,
Bing captured history through the searches that mark the year’s most
fascinating people, sensations and moments in time.
Based on the aggregation of billions of search queries conducted
on Bing this year, here are the much-anticipated top search lists for
the most-searched people, news stories, athletes, musicians, celebrity
events, social networks and TV shows. The complete report, including
most-searched viral videos, movies, songs, TV personalities and more, is
available at http://www.BingTrends.com.
Most-Searched Person of the Year
Kim Kardashian didn’t just keep up with other celebs such as
Justin Bieber (2011’s most-searched person) this year, she took back the
top spot. Kim K. was the most-searched person of the year in 2012,
regaining the spot she also held in 2010. Her relationship ups and
downs, including a new relationship with Kanye West, made Kim more
interesting than ever. While Justin Bieber fell to the second spot, he
still was the most-searched male of the year and the most-searched
musician, thanks to the continued support of his many “Beliebers.”
Newcomers to the list include Rihanna, who skyrocketed from No. 20 in
2011 to No. 4 this year; Selena Gomez, who jumped from No. 13 to No. 7;
and Nicki Minaj, who just barely cracked the top 10 at No. 9, up from
No. 23 in 2011. Miley Cyrus made the biggest gain within the top 10
list, jumping from No. 10 to No. 3, likely due to her surprise
engagement.
