Top Google Searches Of 2021 Show The World Has Gone Mad

Vaccines, meme stocks, Alec Baldwin, DMX, sport, and a geopolitical crisis. Looking at the top Google searches in the world is always a fascinating way to wrap up the year that was.

What the masses truly cared about this year has shifted substantially from 2020, and while the ongoing global pandemic is certainly up there – and of course the crisis in Afghanistan – it’s surprising to see that some of the most pressing issues, according to internet users around the world, surrounded AMC stock and GME stock having an absolute field day at the behest of Redditors looking to burn Wall Street to the ground.

It’s even more fascinating when you compare the top global search terms on Google to the most searched for trending topics in Australia. We’ve listed both below so you can contrast yourself, with a few of the top Google searches globally followed by the top Google searches in Australia for 2021.

And if you really want to compare to last year and see how drastic the changes are, check out the top Google searches in Australia for 2020.
