The Walt Disney Company was founded on American soil in 1923, but it has since gained much worldwide recognition and billions in revenue. Part of the reason why Disney is so popular is because of its iconic songs. But which tunes does each state gravitate to most?
Most Popular Disney Song by State
Google Trends determined the answer during its research from Tuesday, April 9, 2024, to Wednesday, April 9, 2025. For this study, data analysts examined search trends across states. “Top-searched” results had the highest number of queries for a location. You can find the complete map below.

Surprisingly, every state searched one of two Disney songs most of all: “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and “Let It Go.” The former is from Mary Poppins (1964), a movie about a whimsical nanny named Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) who brightens the lives of two children. While Mary Poppins popularized the term supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which Dictionary.com defines as something that’s “extremely good,” variants of the word were around for a couple of decades before the movie came out.
“Let It Go” skyrocketed in fame when Frozen was released in 2013. Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) belts out one of the most recognizable Disney songs in recent memory during her journey of self-discovery. The track has been translated into over 40 languages—including German, French, and Catalan—so that kids can play the song on repeat worldwide. “Let It Go” has also won a Grammy and an Academy Award and recently became certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America after reaching 10 million sales. That’s a first for Walt Disney Records.
