Britney Tops Most Searched-for List

Britney Spears has topped the chart for the most searched-for subjects on the internet in the UK, Yahoo has said.
The pop star is no stranger to the number one spot in the music charts, but her musical comeback has now propelled her to the top spot in Yahoo's list of the top 10 searches for 2008.
Her turbulent life over the past few years has been captured by the media and has taken centre stage over her music, but this is set to change with the release of her sixth studio album, Circus.
Other popular searches of 2008 have also been showbiz related. TV shows Big Brother and X Factor, the rock band Oasis, and Disney's hit High School Musical 3 have all made it into the top 10.
The only news story to make it onto the list was the US election.
Kristof Fahy of Yahoo! Europe said: "It is fascinating to look back over the last year and see the stories, personalities and subjects that have captured our imagination, some of which are almost distant memories now, and some of which continue to be the hot topics."
