Looking back on 2013, billions of searches on Bing from around the world reveal it was a year of American songs, superhero movies, Facebook love, high-end designer brands, controversial sports stars, European getaways and fierce women.
Bing search trends, found at http://www.BingTrends.com,
indicate what has most captivated people around the world in 2013, and
this year the trend report includes search data from Australia, Brazil,
Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, the U.K. and
the U.S.
Ladies appeared to rule 2013, since a woman was the most-searched
person of the year in eight of the 12 participating countries around the
world - Beyoncé reigned in the U.S., while Miley Cyrus’ highly
publicized twerking made her the top-searched person in both Australia
and Canada. Former flames Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were the
most-searched people in the U.K. and Germany, respectively. Actress and
actors Bruna Marquezine, Wen Zhang and Salman Khan were the
most-searched people in Brazil, China and India, while singers Rihanna
and David Bisbal ranked at the top for France and Spain, and gorgeous TV
personalities Danmitsu and Belen Rodriguez were favorites in Japan and
Italy.
With an amazing Super Bowl performance - including a reunion with
Destiny’s Child - as well as a successful world tour and famous family,
Beyoncé captivated Americans this year and was the most-searched person
on Bing in the U.S. She earned not only the title of most-searched
person, but the most-searched musician nod as well. Fellow musician
Rihanna also came out near the top for 2013, earning both the No. 3 spot
as most-searched person and No. 2 for most-searched musician. Newcomers
to the top 10 this year include Amanda Bynes at No. 8, Madonna at No. 5
and President Barack Obama at No. 10. Taylor Swift’s busy year in the
public eye helped her make the biggest jump in rankings, going from No.
10 in 2012 to No. 4 this year:
