We’re ready for the new year, but first let’s finish this one with a look at our most-searched Trends.

An illustrated image of a busy city scene. The city is full of people, characters and icons — including the Android icon, various emoji icons, a Google Maps icon, and two large numbers — “25.”

The year is coming to an end, and we’re ready to take on 2024. But before we do, we wanted to celebrate that 2023 marked Google’s 25th birthday one last time with a first-of-its kind Doodle that brings together 25 of the most-searched people, places and moments. Uncover trends from all over the world in the search-and-find game; you’ll discover everything from the most-searched athlete to the most-searched boy band. Die-hard trend-watchers might even spot an easter egg or two (we might have already said too much…!).

But first, test your knowledge with our pop quiz of some of the most-searched trends data accumulated since Google Trends launched in 2004.
