2016 has been quite the year. The news are dominated by politics, celebrity deaths and sporting events.

Google today has released its annual “Year in Search”, the 2016 edition, which is a top of the most searchable topics of the year.

Brits wanted to know about Euro 2016 this year, the competition being on top of the U.K. searches.

Meanwhile, “across the pond”, the most searched for word in the U.S. was “Powerball”, which shows many Americans hoped to win the lottery this year.

It has been one of the most dramatic year in history, so it’s not a surprise that politics dominated the internet search across the world.

United States President Elect Donald Trump was the third most searched for term worldwide, thanks to his surprising run in the election and his rise in front of the global politics, one of the most shocking political events in present history.

He was also the fourth most searched for in the United Kingdom as well, surpassing Prince and the EU Brexit referendum.

But, he only came eight in the U.S., being defeated by David Bowie and Prince.

As with the election, Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in the search race too, reaching only the tenth place with the “election” itself being number nine.

Women have become more and more involved in top global politics, with U.K. having a diverse trending list of politicians. Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom join London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Nigel Farange and Boris Johnson in the Britain’s top political curiosity.
