About Trending Topics Daily

Trending Topics Daily shows what people are searching for right now, country by country, and keeps an hourly record of how that changes through the day.

What you will find here

A live list of trending searches for every country we cover, and for the world as a whole.
Each list by category: AI, technology, gaming, movies and TV, music, sports, business and finance, news and politics, science and health, and lifestyle.
A small graph for every topic showing how its rank moved over the last 24 hours, and what was trending in the hours before.
A permanent archive page for every finished day.

Where the data comes from

We collect public data: Google Trends' daily trending searches for each country, and Wikipedia's most-read pages for each country (published under the CC0 licence). We store what we collect every hour, so the history builds up over time. The methodology page explains exactly how lists, ranks and categories are produced.

Who runs it

Trending Topics Daily is run by Payal, an independent developer. Collection and categorisation are automated; there is no editorial team.

How it is paid for

The site is free to read. It is intended to be supported by advertising. Ads will never change the order of a list.
