Each year, Wikipedia reports which articles had the most views. Usually, the people with the most popular articles are politicians/royalty, athletes, or Elon Musk. But sometimes someone else gets on the list, and I think that's a fun thing to try to predict!

This question will resolve based on Wikipedia's official reporting of the most read articles in 2024. It will resolve to the individual human with the most popular article who is not primarily a politician/royal/athlete/Elon Musk.

In 2023 this was J. Robert Oppenheimer, followed by Taylor Swift and Matthew Perry.

In 2022 this was Jeffrey Dahmer, followed by Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

In 2021 this was DMX, followed by Richard Ramirez and Dwayne Johnson.

In 2020 this was Sushant Singh Rajput, followed by Chadwick Boseman and Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2019 this was Ted Bundy, followed by Freddie Mercury and Billie Eilish.

In 2018 this was Freddie Mercury, followed by Stephen Hawking and Cardi B

I've added a few plausible answers to get us started, but it seems to me the winner of this market often comes out of nowhere so I encourage you to add your own.

I am currently holding 23 yes shares for all of the options other than "Other" and "XXXTentacion", how and why?

@RichardK It’s because you bought no shares in other which gives you yea shares in everything else once a new option is added. It doesn’t give you no shares in the new option because then you would benefit by adding bad options that people bet down.

For those betting up XXXtentacion he wil likely not count because they remove false positives

@JamesF

On topviews he’s on a list of false positives

Actually since these numbers do get reported as time passes, making one for just this month too:

J. Robert Oppenheimer

If the movie wins best picture, maybe he'll win this market again!

LionboughtṀ500Andrew Tate NO

He was #25 overall in 2023

If he gets found guilty he might be a solid contender.

@Joshua I don't care, he could have been #1 in 2023. This was a statement, not a bet to make profit.

Fair enough! I would also prefer he be consigned to obscurity.

Michael Saylor

sorry changed from Kamala, since its a politician

@itsTomekK Sure that works

[Invalid Answer]

That's a politician! Gonna edit this to Invalid Answer haha.

Also note that this information is public, so we probably will have a good idea as the year goes on.

This page can show you the top viewed articles of each day.

Also check out Tomek's market for most popular article overall:

Maria Callas

Another biopic, this one starring Angelina Jolie

Amy Winehouse

There's a biopic coming out about her sometime this year. It's already stirring controversy and it's not even out, so there's a possibility here

This is English Wikipedia only?

@IsaacKing Yeah, English only.
