The list of most popular search terms from 2004 continues, with Google weighing in today. The 2004 Year-End
Google Zeitgeist
gives you:

  • Top 10 most popular queries in 2004. Britney Spears tops the list, and chat is the first non-person item on the list in at fifth place
  • Top 10 most popular men, with Orlando Bloom ranked first
  • Top 10 most popular women — yes, it’s Britney again
  • Top 5 TV shows, with The Simpsons in top spot
  • Top 5 popular tech items, with wallpaper listed first
  • Top 5 most popular consumer brands, with ebay listed first (but want to bet Google itself made the list but was editorially dropped off?)

Top queries for news, image, shopping and local are also shown in various categories. Also offered are
country-specific
year-end wrap-ups, and a Flash-based interactive edition of the wrap-up, giving you a
month-by-month look at some top queries, special Google logos and a major news events recap.

  • Top 10 movie searches, with that boy Harry Potter on top
  • Top 10 news searches, leading with Iraq
