She is? That is really interesting, I never thought she would be the 2nd most paid artist in 2016. That does kinda make sense, but I'm glad she's still popular!!

[CelinesDIVO5]

I hate to say it, but it was probably because of Rene and her brother from the beginning of the year. Any appearance she made after they passed was kind of a big deal. I can see why she'd be number 2 most searched.

[CelineTheBest5]

It was in USA. But in worlwide she was number 1!

Oh I know! I understand that it's not that, the most searched. I get why she's #1 but it is a little bit of a shock!

I think that's awesome. Sadly I think it does have a lot to do with current events, but that's still neat. A nice end of year surprise.

I don't know if i believe these polls. They seem to change more often than a street hooker changes clothes. And I haven't heard anyone really talking about Celine since she performed SMGO on Billboard awards.

Cannot believe it will soon be 1 year since Rene passed away. Everything happened so fast. The death, the funeral, photos and articles, the tribute, the return to performing, Billboard Music Awards, Encore Un Soir, the tour, the interviews, the album, new song in English... and here we are. Being informed Celine was the most searched artist, quite possibly for all the reasons above. I really get the info but I find it hard to fully realize it.

She was number 8 in most searched people in general as well (without sorting them into groups)
