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.

Here are the top 20 people and searches from Google in 2016.
