Late 90s according to Wiki and became real popular around 2002

Trump doesn't surprise me. A lot of people looked him up since he was president and so much scandal and other stuff was happening too.

How old are you? Britney being the most popular search in the early 2000's and during her breakdown makes total sense. No surprises :rip:

Janet Jackson has topped the list of most searched terms on Google in 2005.

Ms Jackson's name was top query in the search giant's annual summary of trends on what people have been looking for on the internet.

Like Rebecca Black, she was #1 on Google trends for 2005.

 

EDIT:

Actually in the article, they say Britney was ranked #8 for 2005 and it's the same for this article on Google's 25th year anniversary

So shouldn't Janet be listed for 2005 @Arrows?

No. I was using google in elementary school in like 2002

This isn't that shocking, those people were the most powerful celebrities at some point

Is OP manipulating the list and lying on certain years? People can check for themselves directly on Google.

Whitney Houston is most searched for 2012

Hey! The reason I went with Britney is that I suspect the lists you linked is again a case of the most "trending" searches that year, as in compared to previous years. It's the same reason Demi Lovato somehow ended up being #1 on their 2018 list despite clearly not being the most searched person that year.


I know it specifically states "top searches" in the article you linked - but if you compare Britney and Janet on Google trends for the year 2005, it's pretty clear who got the most searches imo:

Yeah cause its totally mind blowing that the most infamous presidential candidate in recent history has more interest than a pop star. 

If anything its impressive she managed to beat him in 2023 after all his dominance for those earlier years.

I think I realised the key missing information that makes the difference between most trending and most google'd (aka interest over time on your graph comparison) after doing some digging on Google trends.

How accurate is Google Trends?

Google Trends is considered to be very accurate and reliable - in fact, it's often cited by leading publications like the New York Times, The Economist, and the Wall Street Journal. Google also puts several measures in place to ensure the accuracy of the data, like ignoring repeat searches from a single user over a short period of time.

Repeated searches from the same users is likely not counted for google trends data over the short period, which could also mean over the 12 month period. Most google'd however, likely does, which skews/inflates data graphs for overall search and doesn't necessarily tell the amount of unique different users' search terms. I'd take Google Trends over interest over time data and also explains why their list is different to what you see in most googled (Janet and not Britney). They prioritise different unique users search data over the same amount of people doing repeated searches across the year.
