How can
we not? But; there was plenty of other things that
had Pakistanis' attention before and amidst the virus; Turkish Serials were
all the rage; misogynistic comments had everyone riled up and whether
you're into politics or not; people had a little fun at
the expense of the drawn-out US elections. Google released its annual “Year in
search list 2020” on Wednesday, reminding us of trending topics that
we may have even forgotten (the highly anticipated Meray Pass Tum Ho finale
was this year!). The list is basically a roundup of the newsworthy things that
took place during a year and had a high spike in traffic over a sustained
period in 2020 compared to 2019 So without
further suspense, here's who and what was trending in Pakistan in a year like
no other in modern history:

This year - like last year and the year
before that - cricket continued to reign supreme in the list. Six of the top 10
searches were only cricket. Pakistanis proved that coronavirus - number 2 on
the list - may have controlled our movement and every other aspect of our lives
following February; cricket is what we live and breathe.

The one we were a little surprised to see on
the list? The next US president Joe Biden. The one that made complete and utter
sense given the obsession with Dirilis Ertugrul? Esra Bilgiç.
