A lot happened in 2014. Here’s a look at the trends on Facebook that received the most attention.
ISIS
Sadly, ISIS will likely continue to be a trending topic well into 2015.
Malaysia Airlines

Midterm Elections
Listen closely and you can still hear Republicans cheering over these results.

Another topic unlikely to go away any time soon. Many celebrities felt a need to chime in on the conflict in 2014.
World Cup
The home team fared poorly, but Germans are still celebrating today over their World Cup victory in Brazil.
Michael Brown & Ferguson
The shooting of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri set off protests and race riots in that city, triggering a national debate in the process.
Super Bowl
Peyton Manning would love to forget about it, but the Super Bowl really was played this year.
Robin Williams
The world lost one of its all-time best comedic voices when Robin Williams tragically took his own life.
Ice Bucket Challenge
The Internet actually CAN do some good! That was made evident by the Ice Bucket Challenge raising millions of dollars for ALS research.
