DES MOINES, Iowa — A few special songs, events and, yes, the slang term “67” topped Des Moines-ians minds — and search histories — this year.
Google just released its annual Year In Search for 2025. Here’s what trending searches stood out in the Des Moines area.
Songs
- “Ordinary” by Alex Warren
- “Wood” by Taylor Swift
- “Golden” by HUNTR/X
- “Blue Strips” by Jessie Murph
- “Father Figure” by Taylor Swift
It’s too bad Alex Warren won’t be stopping by Des Moines on his 2026 tour, because his latest single clearly left a worm in the metro’s ears. His closest stop is Omaha — where “Ordinary” came in below “Wood” and “Golden.” What’s up with that?
Of course, “Golden” from the Netflix blockbuster “KPop Demon Hunters” made the list, coming in third place both in Des Moines and nationwide. Now, with a potential sequel on the horizon, Des Moines is left to wonder: Will a “Golden 2” top the metro’s search history once again?…
