PSY's "Gangnam Style" music video might've broke Justin Bieber's record for the most watched YouTube video of all time, but Justin has a new record to celebrate -- he's Bing's number one most searched musician for the second year in a row.

Search engine Bing revealed their search trends for 2012, with the "Boyfriend" singer topping the most searched musician list. Following the Biebs were Whitney Houston and Katy Perry. Justin's on-and-off again girlfriend Selena Gomez was fourth on the list.

For the most searched song category, PSY's hit, however, claimed that title. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" was closely behind, followed by Justin's "Boyfriend." Boy bands One Direction and the Wanted also made the list, 1D's "What Makes You Beautiful" placed sixth and the Wanted's "Glad You Came" came in ninth.

See what other artists made the cut in the top 10 lists for both categories below.

Justin did reign in the musician category, but who beat him in the most searched people category? Kim Kardashian! Justin was in second place behind the reality TV star, followed by Miley Cyrus.

Why? He's defiantly no Michael Jackson, Timberlake beats him out by a long shot! White or black, Bieber's just a baby, Toy boy, moma's boy or whatever, but if he want's to make that big money!! Get like Timbeberlake, get funky , get serious. Spread your real wings! Flop out a nipple or two, express yourself and show people your real talents and ideals are by far without limits ( Hey Rocky?! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat? Ooops! I personally did not care much for Timberlake as a singer but, when it comes to acting, It's two thumbs up for that young white dude! Not to mention others whites I feel are way better than Bieber and American Idol has proved that many times over.
