WikiCharts Top 100

We all like lists, don’t we? Especially if they measure popularity. I came upon this list of top 100 articles from the English Wikipedia that are viewed most. Of course, the list is for August and naturally you see topical articles like JonBenet Ramsey, clips and images of whom CNN pounded us with. Of course, when I see lists like these, curiosity comes as I scan it for familiar names. Lo and behold! I finally find one at #24 – Priyanka Chopra. What the…! The Wikipedia article on Priyanka Chopra fields around 15000 views per day, give or take 24, says WikiCharts.

I don’t understand why Priyanka Chopra of all Bollywood babes. Is she really that popular among netizens or Wikipedians? I thought Aishwarya Rai had a huge following. Are rumors of her playing Wonder Woman partly attributable? Or maybe the more believable reason that her Wikipedia page is No.5 on Google’s India page. I doubt it because American Idol runner-up, Katherine McPhee is now ‘rumored’ to play that role. Anyway, back to apni Priyanka, she even beats Hollywood hottie turned African messiah Angelina Jolie who is ranked a pitiful #53. Hey! If so many people are searching for her, then probably she should open a blog and settle the debate, traffic-wise, on India’s top blogger once and for all.

If you can shed any more light on this strange and useless mystery, let me know.

    It’s quickly followed by “a list of gay porn stars”, so you don’t have too much to be worried about. :P

    Good catch. Cant really think of a reason. Myabe they had a photo or two of Chopra babe there. I mean that will attract some attention.

    Simple, she has more “brand recall” right now than Ash! Ash was last, merely spotted, in the spices fiasco talking to her spices..whereas Priyanka Chopra has been the queen of bollywood for sometime now with Kkrrrriish (dont know the spellings and cant bother), other movies (sadly not aware of many but I do see her more often than Ash), and the piggy chops guest appearances she’s been making.

    Vi, searches for porn have always been popular so I wasn’t surprised there.

    Confused, don’t tell me that you are a Chopra fan too? Somehow I don’t find her hot.

    Twilight Fairy    , probably you are right. Recall value is high since these results are only for August. Probably we should check back when Dhoom 2 releases. A quick look at the September results [thus far] shows that she has already dropped out of the top 100.

    I am not!

    And I am offended. As I never tire of telling Ponditji, I have a marked preference for Bong gals. :)
