It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that Americans absolutely love their celebrities. This is apparent by the large followings the celebrities have on social media, the endorsement deals they pick up and by the way they’re approached and treated in general. There are countless celebrities in the world that people stan…but who are the names at the top of the list? Who do the people love the most?

A new study has uncovered the celebrities that Americans are most obsessed with. The study, conducted by the online casino comparison website OnlineKajino, examined over 100 celebrity names on Google to determine those with the highest average monthly searches between January 2024 and September 2024. Additional data was scraped on the states with the highest searches per 100,000 residents for each top celebrity, as well as comparing the average number of searches this year to the average for all of 2023.  

Commenting on the findings, Hekima Yoshida, head editor at OnlineKajino, said, “Celebrity lives are more accessible than ever through social media, and so fans and even non-fans are captivated by the glimpses of glitz and glamour in the everyday lives of big stars. Yet, it is important to remember that celebrities are human too and they deserve a right to privacy.  

“The study highlights just how fascinated we are by public figures, with Americans making millions of Google searches related to celebrities each month. These searches help keep stars relevant, and it’s interesting to see how the world’s relationship with celebrities evolves. For instance, after this year’s Met Gala, many people began unfollowing influencers, leading to stars like Kim Kardashian losing hundreds of thousands of followers. While most audiences remain captivated by celebrities still, we may be entering a new era in how we approach them and the parasocial relationships we develop with them online.”

“People often search for relatability in celebrities – they want to know about their daily life, their heartbreaks, love stories, and more. But it is important to remember that celebrities are paid to maintain an image. Even when they share regular updates or when news outlets claim to reveal their ‘real’ lives, much of it is carefully curated and the whole picture is never seen. While it’s fascinating to peek into their world, it’s key to remember our own lives are just as interesting too.”

Regardless of if we’re in for a new era or not, currently we are still in a space where celebrities reign supreme on the minds of Americans. Check out the full list of the most talked about celebrities of 2024!
