# Singer d4vd has been named the top trending person on Google in 2025

If you were asked to name the person who saw the biggest spike in Google searches across 2025, you might plump for a pope, perhaps, or a major political figure. Unless you were one particular Polymarket user, you maybe wouldn’t have put too much money ond4vd, a popular 20-year-old singer whoreportedlyremains an active suspect in the death of a teen girl.

However, when Google revealed itsYear in Search 2025today — a feature that, importantly, seems toreflectthe figures and topics that have seen searchesspikefrom last year, rather thanoverallsearch volume — d4vd, whose hits like “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me” have racked up billions of Spotify streams, sat atop the “People” section, beating Kendrick Lamar for the top spot.


As people in the business of making charts all day,youcouldsaythat we’re pretty au fait with Google Trends data. Even so, we can admit that Polymarket user0xafEemay be a true savant when it comes to understanding what people are using the search engine for (though there are also allegations that the user is aGoogle insideror had other access to the information).

In any case, thanks to a series of what are now proving to be very prescient positions on Polymarket’s “#1 Searched Person on Google This Year” market, 0xafEe has made a medium fortune in the last 24 hours. There was a ~$10,600 “yes” position on d4vd himself — now worth more than $200,000 — as well as “no” positions across other candidates for the title, such as Donald Trump, Pope Leo, and Bianca Censori, all of which have profited substantially. All told,0xafEemade just shy of$1.2 millionon the market.
