The Top 50 Report – 2021

The most viewed articles weekly are a regular feature, the yearly list has had its sixth entry, and again we have the most viewed article each day, though a manual search of the Toolforge's Pageviews. Along with the big stories (specially sports in the year of the Olympics and the Eurocup), deaths and cultural products of the year, the list also has entries regarding holidays, and whatever either receives a Google Doodle or a topic with an interesting hook on Reddit.
