Many assume a celebrity’s popularity is only as strong as their latest project, but Beyonce has once again proven that she can still reign with absolutely no new album out. So far she’s had a good year considering she performed the Super Bowl half time show, sang for President Obama, grossed over $100 million in ticket sales just a few months into her Mrs. Carter World Tour and landed major endorsements with Pepsi and H&M. But now it’s also been confirmed that she also managed to be the most popular celeb in 2013, at least when it comes to one of the major search engines.
Reuters reports that Beyonce was just named the Most-Searched Person on Bing for 2013, and she beat out tabloid favorite Kim Kardashian (Kim nabbed the honor in 2012). Despite having no new music out, Beyonce has been searched for more times than any other celebrity on Bing in 2013 alone.
Kim Kardashian dropped to the second spot even though she had a big year that resulted in her becoming a mom and getting engaged to rapper beau Kanye West. Rihanna came in at number 5, while Nicki Minaj came in at number 8.
Considering Beyonce just keeps racking up the accolades while her loyal fans continue to await the release of her fifth studio album, we’re thinking she’ll have an even bigger year in 2014 when she drops her new music.
Congrats to Beyonce.
Only Bey can slay with no new album out. LOL.
LOL so true. I read this and was like now this is why she’s the king. She wins when she has no new music out. That says a lot.
The funniest thing is Kim tried soooo hard to stay in the headlines with all her stunts this year and Beyonce still outdid her without even trying. Hilarious.
I know Kim is salty as hell. She lives for this kind of stuff while the people with real careers can care less. LOL.
Damn. I can’t even hate.
Get em Bey. She slays and doesn’t even try to.
And aren’t Bey haters saying she’s not relevant anymore. LMBO!
This is what I love to see. Real celebs with real careers slaying. Not desperate and talentless Kim K and her annoying family. Congrats to Bey, Nicki and Rihanna.
Yay! And I’m glad Nicki was high on the list! She had another great year. 🙂
Congrats to Rih and Bey. They deserve it. Nicki too.
KANG. #thatisall
Well alright. Now it’s time to drop a damn album. Don’t let all this hype go to waste. She should release new music before the year is over.
Kim has nothing going on but beauty……BEYONCE IS A ALL ACROSS THE BOARD TALENT….NO COMPARISON…. PLEASE
Bey need to hurry up and drop that album. Every song on past albums were hits.
I’m starting to second guess her. I think she scared we may not like what she talking about this time around.
BeyoncĂ© definitely doesn’t need music to stay relevant…but it’d be nice to hear some of that new album…
