2019 in Google search for New Year's Eve

Happy New Year's Eve!  At the conclusion of Ten of the companies that went out of business this decade and 9,300+ stores closed this year, two tales of the Retail Apocalypse, I described how I planned on ending my calendar year on this blog by telling my readers to "stay tuned for a New Year's Eve entry about the year in Google search, another of my traditions here."  With no further ado, I present Google — Year in Search 2019.

For the full top ten, read the image I used to illustrate this entry.

With that, I'm done blogging for 2019.  Stay tuned for a New Year's Day entry to welcome the next decade.
