Winners in international searchesIt was an interesting result from an international perspective with ladies reigning supreme from searches around the world. Women were the most-searched gender during the year in eight of the 12 participating countries globally. Beyonce dominated the US, while controversial twerking pop-star Miley Cyrus made her the top-searched person in both Australia and Canada.

Artists and singers Rihanna and David Bisbal ranked at the top for France and Spain with TV personalities Danmitsu and Belen Rodriguez were claimed crowns in Japan and Italy.
Winners in US searchesBeyonce certainly earned her place at the top of US leaderboard as the most search person ahead of an incredibly strong field. No doubt her achievement was due to an awesome Destiny's Child reunion and the amazing Super Bowl performance boosted by her successful world tour, famous family and husband Jay-Z. If this wasn?t enough, she also earned the title of the most-searched musician.
Rihanna reached the number three spot as most-searched person and number three for most-searched musician, topping of another great year for the artist. Newcomers into the top 10 this year include Amanda Bynes at number eight, everlasting Madonna at number five and US President Barack Obama at number 10.
