Your personal priorities may differ. I will admit to searching on Conchita Wurst, the bearded transvestite who won Eurovision (because a bearded transvestite won Eurovision!?!) and I only searched on the World Cup after that guy bit the other guy (my game is Australian Rules football, the game the angels play). I never searched for Frozen (pre-teen gender politics isn’t really my area and my sons have unfortunately out grown Disney movies).
As a global snap shot this seems about right. A mix of important , social and trivial.
