Bing’s top searches in 2016: Lady Gaga, iPhone 7 & video gamer DanTDM take top spots

Bing has released its most popular searches for 2016. The site offered multiple “Top Searched” lists, ranking everything from the most searched celebrities and tech trends to the top searched viral moments and web creators.

What Bing didn’t offer was a list of the most searched terms overall – so, while we know what the most searched animated TV show on Bing was in 2016 (“The Simpsons”), no data was given on the site’s most popular search term.

Here’s a few of the lists Bing shared.

For the most searched celebrities on Bing, Lady Gaga ranked No. 1, followed by the former teen-couple, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.
