This market relies on a single, well-defined official source: the #1 spot on Google's official Year in Search 'People' list for the United States in 2026. The rules clearly provide the exact navigation path and website URL, while specifying that resolution will occur as soon as Google publishes the list. A fallback clause is included to resolve the market to 'Other' if Google fails to release the list by March 31, 2027. Note that Google's Year in Search lists rank trending search interest rather than absolute total search volume, but the rules explicitly bind resolution to Google's official published ranking rather than raw search query totals.
