Looking back at the last decade 2010-2019

Wow, how fast did our last decade go? Too fast! While peering into the review mirror of the last decade, Google decided to show just how much the times have changed. While Google primarily looks at movies, TV and music, highlighting that 2010 was the year of the Bieber (Justin Bieber’s first studio album) and the year that  Lebron James became a free agent. Google used this data and made a cool visualizer showing how trending searches for musicians evolved from month-to-month during the 2010’s, which we think is pretty darn cool. 

As we close this decade we optimistically and anxiously look forward to the next. Cheers to a fantastic decade and cheers to the next!
