Taylor Swift's reign shows no signs of slowing down. For the second year running, the global pop sensation has dominated Alexa interactions in Australia, claiming the top spot as the most asked-about celebrity. Aussies couldn't get enough of Swift, with questions ranging from "How tall is Taylor Swift?" to queries about her net worth, who she's dating, and of course, requests to play her music.
 
But Swift isn't the only musical phenomenon capturing Australian attention this year. Enter KPop Demon Hunters – the fictional K-pop group from Netflix's hit series has taken Aussie households by storm. The virtual band features multiple tracks in the Amazon Music top 10 most-requested songs, with "Golden" by HUNTR/X, "Soda Pop" and "Your Idol" by Saja Boys dominating playlists. Australia's own ROSÉ appears in the Amazon Music top artists list, and "APT." by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars claimed the number one spot for most requested song overall.

While global stars dominated the charts, Aussies also showed strong interest in homegrown talent. Steve Irwin topped the list of most asked-about local celebrities, followed by Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, and Chris Hemsworth. K-pop artist ROSÉ claimed the title of most requested local artist, while The Kid Laroi, Kylie Minogue, Hilltop Hoods and John Farnham also featured prominently as Aussies championed local music. Meanwhile, "APT." by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars, "Dance Monkey" by Tones And I, and "Stay" by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber were the most requested tracks featuring local artists on Amazon Music.
 
When it comes to sport, AFL dominated queries, with the Collingwood Magpies leading as the most asked-about local sports team, followed by other Australian footy teams including the Brisbane Lions, Geelong Cats, Adelaide Crows and Sydney Swans. Only one NRL team made it into the top ten - the Brisbane Broncos. Football legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were included in the top five most asked-about celebrities overall, with MrBeast, Ariana Grande, and Eminem also making the top 10. Questions about celebrity heights, net worths, ages, and relationship status kept Alexa busy throughout the year.

Aussies also turned to Alexa for life's burning questions and general knowledge. Curiosity about population size remained high, with customers asking about the populations of Australia, New Zealand, the United States, China and India. Islamic prayer timings were frequently requested, with queries about Maghrib, Dhuhr, Asr, Fajr, and Isha prayer times. Practical cooking questions dominated the kitchen, with customers seeking guidance on cooking times for healthy foods including eggs, chicken, broccoli, sweet potato, and salmon, as well as asking "How to cook for just yourself?" Sleep-related queries were popular too, with many Aussies asking "how to fall asleep?" and "how to fall asleep fast?"
