Anyone with an Echo speaker will be familiar with the standard requests to set timers or turn on the lights, but these devices can do far more than ensure your boiled eggs don’t overcook. Amazon has just confirmed all the biggest requests of the year, showing exactly how varied our daily Alexa commands can be. Over the past 12 months, Brits have been asking their smart speakers about trends such as KPop Demon Hunters, along with finding out answers to questions such as What’s the diameter of Earth?, and what is the UK minimum wage?

Celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise are also on the list, along with people trying to find out just how rich Mr Beast is.

Football also tops the charts as the most asked about sport, followed by Formula 1 and rugby. Amazon also says that customers were keen to learn about their favourite athletes, with Cristiano Ronaldo topping the list of the most asked about.

“Alexa is always ready to help and has once again been on hand to answer the millions of questions posed by inquisitive customers,” Amazon confirmed.

“Revealed today are this year’s ‘Alexa’s Most Asked Questions’ covering an array of the hottest trends and topics in 2025.”
