Britney Spears ‘Most Searched Celebrity’ Since Creation Of Internet

79c7eb33b73625ea238bf0b30de93780 Britney Spears Most Searched Celebrity Since Creation Of Internet

With the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift serving as today‘s mega sellers, it’s easy to forget sales feats scored by ‘Luv The Hurt Away’ singer  Britney Spears.

Welcoming first week sales of 1,319,193 units with 200o’s ‘Oops!…I Did It Again’, Spears- even today- boasts sales that even the likes of Lady GaGa and Rihanna are unlikely to ever see.

Now, after taking Will.i.am’s ‘Scream & Shout’ to the top of iTunes, she has landed a record that makes her run as a global icon all the more mind blowing.

Details below…

Topping the list for the ‘Most Searched Celebrity‘ in the last twelve, The Huffington Post reports that this feat makes her the ‘Most Searched Celebrity’ since the internet’s inception.

They explain:

“Turns out, one person has clearly dominated the top-searched lists for the past decade or so: Britney Spears. She’s topped the lists for a whopping seven of the 12 years. That makes her the most-searched celebrity since basically the inception of the internet (or something *head-flip*).”

Beating the attention seeking Kim Kardashian to the top spot, the Pop legend also surpassed searches made for Michael Jackson, Princess Diana and Brit Pop sensations One Direction.

‘Unusual You’:

This record comes after she was crowned ‘The Next Queen Of Pop’ by That Grape Juice.Net readers, securing the top spot with 81,762 votes cast in her favor.

Three cheers for Brand Spears!

Full list here.

      Report this comment

      • especially, since her biggest accomplishments were made b4 she was 20. she done nothing sensational since the early 2000s.

        she stays relevant because the media loves her because they claim she’s sweet and humble.

      • is she really (still) humble and sweet…

        Report this comment

      • so they claim. i heard someone talking this bs on tv the other day.

        there’s bunch of dirty old men in the entertainment industry who still get a stiff one when they remember britney in those pigtails, short ass pleaded shirt and her blouse tied at the waist with her belly button winking. add to that, blonde hair, and the”sweet, humble” innocent girly persona and there’s an indelible iconic image that ain’t goin’ no where.

        who cares that she can’t even spell talent?

        Report this comment

      • Sad !!! I never understood why she is so popular. I really don´t get the hype …. she is not cute or innocent. I really doubt she was ever. She can not sing. I´m not hyping a singer who can´t sing. The most people don´t appreciate real talend. It´s really sad ….

        Report this comment

      • wow! you’re really hard on the girl. imo and many others she was very pretty in the day. you say you doubt she ever was. you must be really young. even so haven’t you seen old pics of her?

        anyway, she’s never been a singer but she could dance (no janet but i’ll give her some credit).

        i agree few appreciate honest to goodness talent.

        Report this comment

      • Hmm no I´m not that young, I know her since day 1. She was pretty and is still pretty. She can´t sing at all and the dancing she does or done was/ is not that special. It´s not like no one didn´t see something like that she done/does, you know what I mean ? I really don´t get the hype. I mean there are so many huge names, but why Britney ?? Confusing

      • I´m not hating though …

        Report this comment

      • you may not understand or want to accept the reason why britney was (allegedly still is) huge but it’s been told in the media many times.

        britney was the industry’s first answer to janet. the first pretty blonde white girl who could (almost) emulate janet. janet was/is just as pretty and a much better dancer but…well, you know.

        whenever a white artist emulates an innovative black artist the white artist has a very good chance of becoming bigger than the innovator (not always but many times). i’m not trying to make this a race issue but it is what it is.

        the media fell in love with britney and proclaimed her the next madonna (queen of pop) and like a lot of britney fans are still bat sh!t crazy over her even though she’s only deserves fame for being a ‘teen queen’. and yes they”still” claim she’s ” nice, sweet and humble”.

        no matter how talentless britney is now they don’t care because “it’s britney bitch”. and that’s not likely to change. yeah, that’s sad!

    Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an STD from her 20 guys

    December 6, 2012 at 12:34 pm

    Sam

    You are feeling like shit right now. Since Cheeter Whora Slora got exposed, you pushed into a corner. Now, you are mad that A HUGE A LIST AMERICAN NETWORK has picked up styled to rock. You are scared that style network and E! are gonna make it bigger and better and expose Rih to more whites in MIDDLE AMERICA. This will hurt Beyonce and RITA WHORA SLORA.

    This is why you did not mention Styld to rock being picked up for the USA. You have been making fun of the low ratings in the UK for months. But…..IT STILL GOT PICKED UP AND REMADE FOR THE USA BY STYLE NETWORK – A HUGE NETWORK OWNED BY E! Now you are scared. You know, that Rihanna lives in the USA, which means, she can be available more . the only reason why is had low ratings, was because Rih was in it 3 times for only 5 mins. That girls aloud girl was too involved and that turned folks off. This time Style will do it right.

    You are scared that Style will get the big name American movie stars to be guest etc. You are scared that America will get see more of Beautiful Rihanna face and personality – as well, as Fashion style. This hurts Beyonce Rita Whora. As Beyonce and Rita Whora will not be allowed on this show, this affects THEIR CAREER. You are mad! WHY DID A BIG AMERICAN WHITE NETWORKS ( NOT BET 0 GIVE HER ”FLOP ” SHOW LIFE? In a year when old fat desperate housewife is making a make – or – break – comeback in an age where RNB is dead and singers are dropping off like flies.

    You are scared that E! are gonna MAKE THIS SHOW HAPPEN WITH ALL THEIR best execs, marketers, commercials etc – THus, making RIH EVEN MORE powerful. Powerful beyond music. Too a point where Beyonce will have to start asking Rih for help. You have no pwer, Sam, you are just a black man in London who runs a small ghetto blog. Rih is now doing meetings with some of teh most POWERFUL JEWISH MEN on earth who have the power to shut careers DOWN!

    Rih has the POWER TO MAKE A PHONE CALL AND SHUT A BITCH DOWN. RIH is beyond MTV. SHE IS HOLLYWOOD. Hollywood do not care if her movies or TV have low ratings. SHE IS POWERFUL – SHE is getting deals ANYWAY. This scares you, cos BLACK WOMEN DO NOT HAVE THIS GOOD,THE FACT THAT RIH IS THE MOST POWERFUL BLACK WOMAN IN THE SHOWBIZ WOLRD, MEANS SHE WILL USE HER CONTACTS TO FINISH BEYONCE. WHORA AND M ETC OFF , and you in your London CANNOT DO shot about it. You just have to sit and watch.

    Have U noticed ? The more Beyonce gets ready for a comeback – the more Rihanna ups her game! Rihanna is releasing her new SONG in Jan – a month before Bey at superbowl. Rih is NOW DOING HER TV SHOW, TO FUCK BEYAWNCE HBO, which is the same as the one VH1 from last year.

    THIS TIME NEXT YEAR BEYONCE WILL ANNOUNCE HER RETIREMENT AND FADE AWAY INTO PRIVATE LIFE.

      See here bitch. You may have convinced yourself that everybody is scared of Rihanna, but the only thing scared of her is her gynaecologist whenever she calls to make her daily check up.

      Herpes. Chlamydia. The Pussy Funk are all things that can be found in the depths of her overused pussy so its pretty rich of you to come for Ms. Reuh like Riwhore isn’t one dick anyway from serving Subway teas with all those trains she lets run through her.

      I like brit and brit and rih had a song together. Rihanna IS MORE TALENTED, Artistic and creative than brit. Rih voice is way more diverse. Rih can sing ANY BRIT song, Brit can sing any rih song.

      95% OF why Brit made it was because she was teen white blonde, marketed as America’s sweetheart and she was in the right pace at the right time, with the spice girls heralding the reintroduction of POP in the lates 90′s. I watched a white journalist say this. 2012 now Brit is washed up. If she went head to head with Rih, WW, now, Rih will crush. Brit does not have 90′s pop and her teen blonde looks anymore.

        sorry, but you’re the one that needs to ‘sit’. ff was released in mar 2011 and by oct 2012 still had not sold 1 million in the u s. it may have sells of 1 million in the u s by now but it took almost 1 1/2 years.

        for some reason riaa certified ff platinum after it sold only 440,000 copies (it hadn’t even reached gold status).

        oh, btw, someone talking sh!t about rihanna not selling 1/2 million in her first week’s release. femme fatale only sold 273,000 in the first week.

    A random TGJ poll of her being Next queen of pop doesn’t mean shit. Her peak was in 2003. And she is no where near to be the next queen if she can barely perform anymore and doesn’t look interested in her music as it is and can make mediocre songs like scream and shout. BYE. And the “most searched” yeah I’m pretty sure it was cuz of her nasty ass naked p*ssy, and shaved head. Doesn’t get anymore controversial than that. BYEEE.

  • It’s Britney, bitch!……..to me she was the hottest chick on the planeth back in the day, say whatever you want but this girl was the shit, nobody was above her, only Madonna and they love each other, her beauty, her sexy moves, i mean Gaga can only wish to have the charisma this girl had, she was at the top of her game, she is likely, the most famous female Pop star, alongside Madonna and will remain like that forever, She marked trends, she was the first to come with the “Lolita” image that turned everyone crazy, she was every man dream and every girl wanted to look like her, that shit has not happened since the days of Madonna and to be honest, who wants to look like Gaga or Kesha, there’s no inheriting anything, You have to earn it and Britney has done it.
    Long Live The Princess of Pop!

      Do u think when Britney dies people in Dubai and all around the world are going to pay homage? To what contribution or talent? She was the most searched, basically cos of her mid 00´s breakdown. Get over it. I agree she was a bigger star than Rihanna or Beyonce (and I´m saying bigger in popularity, nothing else), but once again you are intentionally forgetting bigger things that happened before her

      • You need to understand that when i mention Britney, i’m talking about Pop, W and M are another thing, Madonna is Pop, so of course i’m gonna mention her, every Pop act is a competition for Madonna, not for W and M, that’s why i say that Madge is above her, named other female other than Madonna in Pop music that had the impact of Britney, no even Gaga come close and yes!, she will be remembered forever and people will pay respect to her.

        Ummmmm Beyonce and Gaga will SLAY her in 2013 unless she steps her performance game up and looks more alive. She cannot perform anymore and she’s only 31. Hell, even Janet was still slaying at that age. And I think Madonna will probably be more admired for her work than Britney who was auto tuned, hardly wrote her music and was tired of her music career post 2003. To me, that sounds like someone that truly does not have their heart and soul into their music. Only reason why she would in the first place is cuz she’s getting paid.

        the president refers to himself as a black man but some want to deny him the right to do so.

        most blacks have a blood line to some other ethnic group. does that mean they’re not black either?

  • Congrats to Britney, she’s made it possible so people like Rihanna and Gaga can have the space to claim grounds in the pop world. There’s no need to insult anyone though, at the end of the day, they stay making money and irrelevant has-beens like Madonna remain unmentioned. Respect the Queens I do, but this is a new generation. Hear Madonna or Britney sing “LIVE” and tell me im lying.

    • Madonna a has-been, unmentioned, laughs. In what world are you living, oh yeah!, the Monster world, the most talked about celebrity of all times, i see she’s still pissing people off and having the attention that Lady Gaga wants so badly.
      Have you heard about this news of the has-been?

      “Madonna is playing some of the biggest venues around the world and selling them out … It’s putting other summer tours, including J.Lo’s first tour, to shame. What is so impressive about these numbers is she’s playing far fewer shows than previous tours by the Rolling Stones, Cher and Lady Gaga, and grossing more.”
