Here Are Chicago's Most Googled Search Terms Of 2015

This year, Chicagoans’ top priority was baseball. Based on Google data released today, we Googled the Chicago Cubs more than literally anything else, following a stellar team as they made it to the postseason and almost made it to the World Series.
We're not as Chicago-focused as we used to be, though. 2012 was all about Chief Keef, the Bears, and CTA Bus Tracker; most of our top searches this year corresponded with national or international events. The Paris attacks were our most-searched news event; our most-searched movie was Straight Outta Compton; and our most-searched person was Lamar Odom, a former NBA player (though never for a Chicago team) who is slowly recovering after overdosing and being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel.
Still, “Blackhawks Parade” was our tenth-most-searched event. (Not to gloat, other cities.) We haven’t gone totally mainstream yet.
Here’s Google’s full list:
