Kim Kardashian has topped a list of the most searched for celebrities in 2012.
The US reality TV star beat pop sensation Justin Bieber, who was last year's winner, to number one on web search engine Bing's list, reports Zap2It.
Kim last held the title in 2010, but narrowly lost to Justin in 2011.
Other stars who made the top 10 for 2012 were Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.
Several A-listers found themselves outside of the top 10 despite being in the public eye in the last few months, including pop star Britney Spears, the new judge on X Factor USA, and actress Megan Fox, who welcomed her first child this year.
Kim, who is dating rapper Kanye West, is consistently popular online. Last year Google said she was their most searched for celebrity.
