Rank Article Class Views Image Notes
1 Demi Lovato   2,433,262   What's up with all these singers on drugs? More proof that being a top Twitter luminary doesn't buy happiness or mental stability. Sad!
2 July 2018 lunar eclipse   1,382,648   The Moon turned bloody, and dancing zombies took over the world. Sad!

  • This list excludes 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 talk page if you wish. Except if you're EXO, then read WP:DENY and weep. Sad!
YOU PATHETIC EXO TROLLS, DON'T YOU EVER EVER TRY AGAIN TO SUPPRESS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DISGUSTING MISDEEDS,[1] OR YOU WILL BE MET WITH FIRE AND FURY THE LIKES OF WHICH THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN!!!!
