Google Trends: What users are searching for

Google Trends is a Google service that offers constantly updated information on the topics and stories that are most searched for on Google Search, Google News, and YouTube.

Thanks to Google Trends, we can discover what is trending at any given time and how interest in any topic has evolved over the years, globally or among users in different countries. This is done through the Explore option, which allows you to compare different search terms and see their evolution over time.

The "Trending Now" section shows the top searches of the day and in real time.

Google Trends allows you to download or embed the information that interests you most on your website. To discover what you can do with Google Trends, you can go to the "Created with Trends" collection of cases, which shows how it is used by media and other organizations.

Google Trends also offers a daily newsletter in English on the latest trends.

Each year, Google Trends publishes the special "Year in Search" which offers information on the top searches performed worldwide and for different countries. Here you can see the 2023 edition of "The Year in Search" for the United States, and here for the whole world.

Nature is an official artist and can now be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music

Nature, through the Sounds Right project, has become an official artist, NATURE, now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms.

Sounds Right is an initiative by Museum for the United Nations – UN Live, developed and delivered in close partnership with musicians, creatives, nature sound recordists, as well as environmental, campaigning and global advocacy organisations.

Sounds Right aims “to recognise the value of nature, prompt conversation, raise funds for conservation through an innovative mechanism, as well as inspire millions of fans to take action,” as explained on the project’s website.

“By simply listening to a Sounds Right track on various music streaming platforms – pure nature sounds or human artists featuring NATURE – music fans will directly protect the environment through a portion of royalties being disbursed to high-impact conservation initiatives.”

Revenues will be managed by the NGO EarthPercent, funneling into environmental and biodiversity conservation projects and initiatives worldwide.

As an official artist, other singers, bands, and songwriters can collaborate with NATURE, using its sounds to create new works.

The NATURE playlist on Spotify was officially launched on April 18 with 15 songs, and new additions will continue to be added.
