Like every year Yahoo publishes it’s top searches of the year around christmas. This year is no different so here they are: the Yahoo! 2005 Top Searches.

2005 was a wild year in Search. Mariah Carey returned with a vengeance, while Britney Spears remained as popular as ever thanks to her new baby with future “Surreal Life” contestant Kevin Federline. Looking past the celeb culture hubbub, Hurricane Katrina and the Asian tsunami dominated news searches, while Apple’s iPod drew big Buzz as well.

Some things I noticed is the vast amount of celebrities in the overall top searches. Britney Spears taking the lead again, followed by 50 Cent, Mariah Carrey and other celebs. This year’s top 10 consists of 8 Celebs (Or 9 if you count Greenday as a celeb), one band and Cartoon Network. While last years Yahoo! Top Searches only featured 4 Celebs in the top 10 (with Paris Hilton on nr 1).

For some people this might seem like an evolution but to me these numbers prove nothing, except maybe that the biggest group of yahoo users are kids and teenagers.
