Google reveals top trending search terms for 2024, including food, sports, movies and people

From: New York Post

What were you searching for in 2024?

According to Google's Year in Search report, the world was surfing the web for news about the US election, the latest iPhone release, blockbuster movie releases, TikTok trends and style advice.

The results, Google told TechCrunch, aren't just the most popular searches — that would be, for instance, the weather — but rather a list of people, places and things that became more popular this year or “had a high spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2024 as compared to 2023.”

Globally, coverage of sporting events took first place in searches, with Copa América taking the top spot, followed by the UEFA European Championship and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Liam Payne, the singer and former One Direction member who died this year was fifth on the list, trailed by President-elect Donald Trump and information about the new iPhone 16, which was released this fall. the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and information about Catherine, Princess of Wales, were also among the top searches around the world.

In the US, news about the election, the New York Times' game Connections and the Yankees fell among the most-searched terms of the year across the board.

When divided into sub-categories, Americans searched for Trump more than Harris, JD Vance and President Joe Biden, and in searches for celebrity deaths, users looked up news about the passing of Toby Keith, who died this year after battling cancer, more than any other.

Diddy, the rapper who faces racketeering and sex trafficking charges, was the No. 1 most-searched musician globally but fell in second place behind Usher in the US.

Around the globe, the top-searched TV series was the Netflix hit “Baby Reindeer,” while “Inside Out 2,” released this summer, was the most-searched flick both globally and in the US. Domestically, it was followed by “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” “It Ends with Us” and “Saltburn.”

It was also the year of the martini, as the Porn Star Martini — followed by the buzzy US Open Honey Deuce and the viral Hugo spritz — took first place for the most-searched cocktail in the country.

Meanwhile, on-trend Americans searched for the viral “mob wife aesthetic” — marked by micro skirts, large fur coats and voluminous hair 'dos — more than any other. “Brat” landed at fourth place on the style “aesthetic” list, while “office siren” placed seventh.

Fashion-forward users also searched for the “back in style” fads that saw a resurgence in 2024, “are skinny jeans back in style?” being the most-searched query after the snug-fitting denim was revived by Gen Zers this year.
