The popularity of this article is a bit mystifying, possibly could be influenced by non-human views. Its popularity increased in June 2012 and has stayed that way.
Though this article is about the novel, its likely most of its views are being generated by the film adaptation released in the U.S. on December 25, 2012, and in the U.K. on January 11, 2013.
American football quarterback for the New England Patriots, whose team was eliminated from the playoffs when they were beaten by Baltimore Ravens. The 7th American football article this week.
An annual holiday in India celebrating the Constitution of India, celebrated on January 26. The first Indian-related article to appear in the Top 25 this year (and the subject of a Google Doodle), though Indian movies and top actors are often found in the top 100 entries at WP:5000.
This list is derived from the WP:5000 report. It excludes the Wikipedia main page (and "wiki"), non-article pages, and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Notable removals this week: Darksiders, a 2010 video game, which had almost 1 million views on January 23, but only a few thousand the day before and after, and cat anatomy.
