Reactions to Justin Bieber’s music range from pure worship to hatred, depending on who’s listening. Whether you hate or love him, The Biebs is definitely here to stay, as Bing searches proves.

He’s just topped the Bing chart for Most Searched Musicians of 2012, closely moving past Whitney Houston, who died in February this year, which generated an almost surprising wave of attention from fans and not only.
