Also in the realm of music, the most searched song was “アイドル” or “Idol” by Yoasobi, the theme music from anime series Oshi no Ko. This was followed by Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town” and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” by Shakira and Bizarrap. And unsurprisingly, over in the movie world “Barbie” took the top spot for film searches this year, followed by the equally unsurprising “Oppenheimer.”
And in overall news searches, “War in Israel and Gaza” took the top spot, followed by “Titanic submarine.” “Turkey earthquake” came in third, with hurricanes Hilary and Idalia rounding out the top five.
