Google’s annual summary (for 2012) of the top trending searches was finally released a little less than 2 weeks after we reviewed the past (top) search trends since 2001.

Their headline for this year is that there were 1.2 trillion searches across all countries in 146 languages.  Topping the U.S. Search Trends was a lady many of us cherished for singing some of the top love songs 30+ years.  Linsanity also entered this year’s search trends list at #5 with “Gangnam Style” making the cut here at the end of the year with it’s late surge at #8.

  1. Whitney Houston
  2. Hurricane Sandy
  3. Election 2012
  4. Hunger Games
  5. Jeremy Lin
