The most viewed articles weekly are a regular feature, the yearly list has had its fourth entry, and again we have the most viewed article each day, thanks to our data man West.andrew.g (who provided a daily top 5). Along with the big stories, deaths and cultural products of the year, the list also has entries regarding holidays, and whatever either receives a Google Doodle (17 entries) or a topic with an interesting hook on Reddit (7 entries).
