MUSIC dominates the internet search activity of the world's young
people, according to a survey.
More than three-quarters of all searches around "entertainment" by young
adults aged up to 18 were devoted to artists or the tunes they sang.
Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber topped the list of most-searched-for
performers, according to the Norton Online Family Kids analysis.
Perhaps more surprising, though, was the position of former Beatles
legend John Lennon.
More than 30 years since the release of his last song, Lennon was the
second most searched-for artist among young fans born decades after his
death in 1980.
Bizarre songstress Lady Gaga brought in the trifecta at No.3.
The study crunched the numbers on more than 23.3 million searches from a
sample of users in 20 countries, including Australia.
While pop songs comprised 13 out of the top 25 searches, the most-
searched-for tune by kids worldwide was R&B hit Dynamite by Taio Cruz.
Waka Waka, by Shakira, and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream rounded out the
top three songs that kept youngsters dancing around the world.
The survey also revealed that when children weren't listening to music,
they were watching TV.
Music-themed competitive reality talent shows American Idol and The X
Factor topped the list of shows searched for on the net.
Animated super-hero cartoon Ben 10 came in not far behind at No.3.
