Early this year, Yahoo! released their Top Search Terms of 2006. Here they are:

1 Britney Spears
2 WWE
3 Shakira
4 Jessica Simpson
5 Paris Hilton
6 American Idol
7 Beyonce Knowles
8 Chris Brown
9 Pamela Anderson
10 Lindsay Lohan

I'll keep my thoughts out of this and just quote the WebmasterWorld thread;

What a sad testament to society. Those top searches are just depressing. Doesn't anybody care about anything outside of entertainment anymore?

The stats just show how obsessed some people are with celebrities. Britney didn't even release a record this year.

But this quote was funny, related to AOL's mishap.

They should have given us the data in a zip file, sorted by userid ;)
