As we close down on the 2019 year, Google thought it would remind us of just how great of a year it’s been for all of us by releasing it’s list of the top trending searches. We’ve had a blast reviewing the list and remembering the various trending topics and thought we’d share them with you for no other reason but nostalgia across the various categories.

As many of you know, or don’t know (probably), Google’s indexes can be filtered by country. For this list, we are highlighting some of the toe top global and U.S. searches.

However, you can change your filtering to any other country that you’d like or view it all here.

The word “Trending” simply means a search term that saw the greatest amount of search traffic volume in 2019.

Looking back at the last decade 2010-2019

Wow, how fast did our last decade go? Too fast! While peering into the review mirror of the last decade, Google decided to show just how much the times have changed. While Google primarily looks at movies, TV and music, highlighting that 2010 was the year of the Bieber (Justin Bieber’s first studio album) and the year that Lebron James became a free agent. Google used this data and made a cool visualizer showing how trending searches for musicians evolved from month-to-month during the 2010’s, which we think is pretty darn cool.

As we close this decade we optimistically and anxiously look forward to the next. Cheers to a fantastic decade and cheers to the next!
