[edit]Rank | Article | Class | Views | Image | Notes/about |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Teri Garr | 1,355,055 | This American actress known for her comedic roles in film and television, such as Young Frankenstein, Tootsie, and playing the mother of Phoebe Buffay on Friends, died at the age of 79 last Tuesday after years fighting multiple sclerosis. | ||
2 | 2024 Ballon d'Or | 1,273,764 | European champion Rodri was chosen by France Football as the best player of the season. Debates soon started discussing if Vinícius Júnior, who was also European champion, would've been a more deserving winner. | ||
3 | Rodney Alcala | 1,258,084 | Netflix brought attention to this reprehensible human being that killed and assaulted at least 8 women (some of them minors) and was sentenced to death only to die of natural causes after decades in prison. Although the distinction that made Alcala's story be told in a movie, Woman of the Hour, is the fact that in the middle of his killing spree he appeared in a matchmaking TV show and won a date, though the woman declined to go out with him and thus escaped a grisly fate. | ||
4 | 2024 United States presidential election | 1,234,532 | At least it's over? I'll be catching up on sleep now. Next week's Report will have a lot to discuss on this. | ||
5 | Tony Hinchcliffe | 1,121,021 | The 2024 Trump rally at Madison Square Garden (which was compared by the opposition's potential VP to 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, maintaining Godwin's law alive) had a set by this comedian, that was unashamedly politically incorrect and relying on racist stereotypes. Reaction wasn't pretty, with Hinchcliffe describing Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage" in particular drawing much criticism. | ||
6 | Rúben Amorim | 1,110,284 | Manchester United hired this Portuguese coach, who has just managed Sporting CP to a national title. | ||
7 | Liam Payne | 1,069,395 | Two weeks after the shocking death of this musician falling off a hotel balcony at just 33, readers want to learn if the Argentinian police has discovered more on what happened that night. | ||
8 | Diwali | 1,053,976 | The Hindu festival of lights, symbolising the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance, annually celebrated on Kartik Amavasya as per the Hindu lunisolar calendar, which usually falls from the second half of October to the first half of November. This year it coincided with #12. | ||
9 | Deaths in 2024 | 1,005,464 | "From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, 'I am man.', our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality." | ||
10 | Freddie Freeman | 988,883 | As the Los Angeles Dodgers won their eighth MLB title, the World Series Most Valuable Player Award was this first baseman who had home runs in the first four games, including a walk-off grand slam in the first. And adding the 2021 finals that Freeman won with the Atlanta Braves, he had home runs on six consecutive World Series games. |
For this could be the biggest sky, and I could have the faintest idea (November 3 to 9)
[edit]Rank | Article | Class | Views | Image | Notes/about |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2024 United States presidential election | 9,045,895 | U.S. election between Trump (#3) and Harris (#4); the most-recent edition of #24. Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote. | ||
2 | 2020 United States presidential election | 6,934,170 | Previous U.S. election, between Trump (#3) and Joe Biden, with the latter winning. | ||
3 | Donald Trump | 5,268,623 | Elected as the 47th U.S. President, after emerging victorious in #1 against #5. He became the second president to win non-consecutive elections after Grover Cleveland (1884 and 1892). All this in spite of his current presence in the courts of law (this here writer feels the need to note that unlike in the American Constitution, the one for his country blocks convicts from running for public offices). | ||
4 | 2016 United States presidential election | 3,477,149 | Previous U.S. election, between Trump (#3) and Hillary Clinton, with the former winning. | ||
5 | Kamala Harris | 3.378,730 | Lost 2024 U.S. presidential election (#1). Plenty of reasons can be found for the defeat, such as Harris not appearing assertive enough once turned into the candidate, a campaign more focused on "the other candidate is bad" than how she'd be the better option, and a lack of information on how to fix the widespread economic insecurity. | ||
6 | Susie Wiles | 2,428,992 | After leading #3 to two successful elections, this political consultant will become the first female White House chief of staff. | ||
7 | JD Vance | 2,243,627 | Elected Vice President of the U.S., as part of the Republican Party's ticket. | ||
8 | Quincy Jones | 1,747,761 | One of the greatest music producers of all time, whose work includes the best-selling album ever and the Austin Powers theme, and also had a hand in television by helping make shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Mad TV, died on November 3 at the age of 91. Former Presidents Clinton and Obama, as well as President Biden and VP Harris all paid their tributes. | ||
9 | Project 2025 | 1,736,612 | To sum the general reaction to this conservative plan for reforms, let's quote someone who didn't live to see #2: I'm Afraid of Americans | ||
10 | 2024 United States elections | 1,692,891 | In addition to the presidential election (#1), the U.S. also saw elections in the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as gubernatorial and legislative elections. |
Exclusions
[edit]- These lists exclude the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue. Please feel free to discuss any removal on the Top 25 Report talk page if you wish.
