Compete.com says we spent a lot of time searching for information about entertainers, TV, and taxes during January. The terms “rihanna” and “chris brown” are Nos. 1 and 3 according to their data, with “irs.gov,” “hulu,” and “american idol” rounding out the top five.

On the flip side of the coin, “circuit city” and “peanut butter recall” were the two biggest decliners in search activity. You can see the full versions of both charts on the Compete.com blog.
