Michael Jackson #1, Megan Fox includes in Yahoo's 2009 Top 10 Searches

A research was conducted by Yahoo according to which it became known that penny-pinching users are escaping to the Web in order to follow news and get their guilty pleasures.
Michael Jackson ranked the first position on this year’s list of Top 10 Overall Searches for 2009, because of his popularity and reasons of his death. The rising celebrity Megan Fox occurred in fourth place and Britney Spears was in the fifth.

As Yahoo released the top 10 most popular searches on internet:

1. Michael Jackson
2. The Twilight Saga
3. WWE
4. Megan Fox
5. Britney Spears
6. Naruto
7. American Idol
8. Kim Kardashian
9. NASCAR
10. RuneScape

It is hard to believe, it's December already. Beyond the holiday rush, one thing that means is that many are already looking towards the year 2010, and in this case the new decade.

That also means that the "recaps" and "best of lists" for year 2009 are already on top of level.

Yahoo! has presented their 2009 - Year in Review, which among other things features their top internet searches of the year. Not surprisingly, Transformers and more specifically the blockbuster movie Revenge of the Fallen are well represented. In fact, ROTF actress Megan Fox ranks #4 in Yahoo's overall Top 10 most searched list. Here is what Yahoo! had to say about her ranking.

Like her or not, Megan Fox was one of the biggest stories of 2009. Best known for looking sultry on the red carpet and acting offended when compared to Angelina Jolie, Ms. Fox also made (more) headlines by bashing "Transformers," the film franchise that made her famous.

But then "Jennifer's Body" hit theaters. After the hipster horror flick headlined by Fox tanked at the box office, the oft-ogled starlet changed her tune about the robots in disguise.

Although some question Ms. Fox's ability to sell tickets, nobody can doubt her canny ability to drive searches wild.
