Date: January 2009
Source: Wikistics.
Base: All pages on Wikipedia. Based on 210 analysed days during the year.
Notes: Editors note from Wikistics: "The page hit analyses on this site are based on the Wikimedia Squid access-log stream, like at stats.grok.se! This means that simply all page accesses (including those of bots/crawlers and reloads) are counted. It's not a reliable page view or unique visitor counter! But it's better than nothing." Pages just outside the top 10 included: #11. Sex (40,141 page views per day) - #12. MySpace (37,256) - #13. John McCain (34,486) - #14 Beatles (32,359) - #15. 2008 Summer Olympics (28,627).
