The world’s biggest and most popular search engine, Google, recently published its annual Google Trends Survey where the company collected the most popular searched topics in 2018. This survey features countries’ most popular trends, including Hungary as well.

According to hvg.hu, this is Google’s 18th time releasing this survey. These statistics collect the most popular search trends, words and topics from 70 countries, all across the globe. There are many categories to choose from and to get to know which word or topic was the most popular one. These categories are, for example, movies, sports, culture, television shows and recipes.

Popular topics worldwide

The most popular topic of 2018 worldwide was the sudden and tragic death of Swedish DJ Avicii in April. The second place is taken by the FIFA World Championship in Russia, and the third one by another American artist, Mac Miller, who also died suddenly due to a drug overdose in September.

Two Marvel-related topics are among the top ten most popular Internet searches: the movie Black Panther, and Stan Lee, the father of Marvel Comics who died this year. The famous physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking is also among the top ten, as well as XXXTenctation, the twenty-year-old American rapper who was murdered.
