Britney Spears was the most searched for term in 2007 according to Yahoo.
What were people looking for - photos of her head shaved, her sub-par performance at the MTV Video Awards? Are people curious about her latest deposition in her battle for custody of her kids? Maybe, but we haven't gone as far as making a swicki solely dedicated to Britney Spears - we aren't that big of fans. Instead, we have fulfilled our appetite for Britney Spears news in one of our celebrity swickis.
While searching, we remembered why Britney Spears was famous in the first place. She was a singer at one point, right? Go back five years, before the K Fed drama, before the stints in rehab, before the custody battles, and you remember that she sold out shows coasts to coast and that she regularly sold number one albums.
Maybe her latest album, Blackout, didn't debut at number one, but clearly she remains top of mind for internet users, and there probably is some correlation between this phenomenon and the fact that this bland album didn't bomb.
Note to aspiring artists, embarrassing performances in front of live audiences can INCREASE record sales.
