Notes
[edit]- Exclusions: The usual websites and other subjects with suspectly high views and oft-excessive mobile or desktop views (a case for the latter included an unexplainable two-day peak for Australia in May).
- Explanatory notes
- ^ Death revealed as fake/publicity stunt
- ^ Though music-related, pageview boost was a result of his performance at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show.
- ^ Though often excluded from the weekly Top 25 Report due to likely automated views, Facebook had a likely natural spike in views on March 5 due to a crash[1]
- ^ a b c d e f g h i Both the IPL and the 2024 edition enter the exclusion threshold, but were on a waiver period for the weekly list. If both were disconsidered, the top spot would be:
- March 23 and 27, May 6: the same article from the previous day ( Catherine, Princess of Wales , Francis Scott Key Bridge (Baltimore) , Bernard Hill )
- March 24 and 25: 3 Body Problem (TV series)
- March 28: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
- March 29-April 1: A death of the day ( Louis Gossett Jr. , Daniel Balaji , Chance Perdomo , Vontae Davis )
- April 2: Caitlin Clark
- April 3: Hunter Schafer[1]
- April 4: Premier League † (which is particularly funny given many of those views come from IPL fans accidentally landing on this page)
- April 5: Solar eclipse of April 8, 2024
- April 6: WrestleMania XL
- April 14 and 15: Scottie Scheffler
- April 16: Fallout (American TV series) †
- April 17: UEFA Champions League
- April 18: 2024 Indian general election †
- April 21: Ryan Garcia
- April 22 to 24, 28, 30: Richard Gadd
- May 4: Backlash France
- ^ This historical figure had an entertainment-related boost due to inspiring Assassin's Creed Shadows.
- ^ Though related to both music and death, pageview boost was a result of the special in his remembrance, Toby Keith: American Icon.
- ^ List of national parks of the United States had higher views (286,841) with credible mobile numbers, but even if there was a possible explanation in Strands players trying to solve a very hard quiz (the answer was indeed there, "Saguaro"), better put an article with a clearer reason.
- ^ While the mobile percentage was too high, an exemption was given because of ISKCON's involvement with the Murder of Saiful Islam Alif the previous day. Highest otherwise would be Wicked (2024 film) again.
- ^ Though music-related, pageview boost was a result of his performance at an NFL on Thanksgiving Day half-time show.
- ^ Due to the 2024 South Korean martial law crisis.
