Google just released its top trending searches list for 2016, and the results won't surprise you at all.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and the election topped this year's list, along with notable sports figures like Michael Phelps and Simone Biles. One breakout hit was mobile gaming, including Pokémon Go and Slither.io, which topped App Store charts and attracted millions of users.

Google broke the results down by the top Google searches and the top people searches (although the people list did not include those who died in the last year).
