When did "top of mind" become such a popular phrase?

I don't think I'd ever heard it until Karine Jean-Pierre used it not that long ago. It seems like the next day, every political pundit and talking head was saying it, and now I hear them (and only them) using it regularly.

options and you say, “Off the top of my head…can’t think of any “ ?
As a side note, every single one of my Indian colleagues says”On the top of my head” when asked open ended questions they don’t know.
Lulz. Cultural linguistics.

Most important thing you're thinking about. Just a different way to say it.

It was really me thinking (believe it or not) out loud. For 63 years, I never once heard that phrase; then all of a sudden, I hear it frequently from political pundits and talking heads. That was the point.
