Singer Beyonce has been named the most-searched person on online
search engine Bing in 2013, edging out 2012′s list-topper – reality
television star Kim Kardashian, who came in second.
Beyonce, 32, topped the list in a year after making a comeback to the
entertainment scene following a time out to give birth to her first
child, daughter Blue Ivy, with rapper husband Jay Z.
The singer performed at President Barack Obama’s inauguration in January, at the Super Bowl in February and kicked off a worldwide tour, The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, in April. The notoriously private singer also revealed glimpses of her life with Jay Z and their baby in a February HBO documentary.
Kardashian, 33, dropped to second place after a big year where she gave birth to daughter North West, and got engaged to rapper Kanye West, the father of her child. Kim topped the list in 2010 and 2012
Women continued to dominate the most-searched list for a second year running, as singers Rihanna, came third place with Taylor Swift and Madonna in fourth and fifth position respectively.
Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, who ranked second place in 2012, dropped to sixth place this year.
Rapper Nicki Minaj and pop singer Miley Cyrus, who both made the list in 2012, also were in the top ten this year, joined by troubled actress Amanda Bynes, who came in at No. 8.
Pop culture continued to lead web searches, but Obama cracked the list at No. 10 as the only politician in the top ten, faring better than last year, when he was ranked 46th on the list.
