Heads-up

Pick a story. Get a Heads-up.

Today's top searched stories with at least three news sources. Pick one to see why people are searching and ask a follow-up.

Updated

Not enough stories in the past 48 hours, so showing the past 7 days.

What do these labels mean?

We compare Google’s trend start, or our first search observation when that’s unavailable, with the earliest qualifying linked article. Older background coverage stays in Sources.

News-first
The news came first. The first linked article appeared more than an hour before the search trend began.
Search-first
Searches came first. The search trend began more than an hour before the first news story we track.
Same time
Searches and linked news coverage began within an hour of each other.

Search figures use Google’s 48-hour measurement window. Timing labels compare qualifying linked article dates with the search timestamps; older background coverage is excluded; they do not establish cause or the first report anywhere.
