The last decade started off with over 20 of the 50 US states searching for Selena Gomez.

Searches for Kim Kardashian became popular in Louisiana but this paled in comparison to the amount of searches for Katy Perry by the end of the year.

The start of January 2012 saw almost all the US states searching for "Kindle Fire", while four others searched for "Pinterest".

This was soon overtaken by searches for "Abortion", a search that remained popular throughout the year.

Nike and Tory Burch were also popular.
