1 - - Léon Foucault 1,540,620 The surest path to Wikipedia glory is to be memorialised in an interactive Google Doodle. And the guy who proved that the Earth rotated (albeit a few centuries after it was strictly necessary) got one for his 194th birthday on September 18. 2 13 2 Grand Theft Auto V 1,004,366 The sequel to the most critically acclaimed video game of all time (seriously) and arguably the only situation in which someone will cheer you for hijacking and then crashing a jumbo jet full of passengers, just made $1 billion in 3 days. That's a lot of jipped prostitutes. 3 4 7 Breaking Bad 800,124 The final season of this acclaimed chemistry teacher-turned-Scarface TV series began on August 11. 4 2 37 Facebook 689,888 A perennially popular article 5 - - Nina Davuluri 572,786 The first Indian American Miss America was the recipient of some singularly opinionated Tweets following her win this week; claiming that she's an immigrant (she's from New York), she's an Arab (she's Telugu) she's a Muslim (she's Hindu), and, oddest of all, that it would matter a whit if she was. 6 6 6 List of Breaking Bad episodes List 532,082 People will turn to this page to keep up with the show. 7 7 5 Breaking Bad (season 5) List 515,167 As above, people want to keep up with this show. 8 - - Floyd Mayweather, Jr. 416,789 All sports create gods, but, for some reason, none do it like boxing. And the world middleweight champion certainly looks decidedly deific after beating Saul Alvarez on September 14; a fight that an estimated 2.2 million televisions tuned in for, and which could ultimately net him $100 million. 9 - - Nothing Was the Same 385,859 The next album from Canadian rapper Drake will be released on September 24. 10 - - Volvo YCC Unassessed 373,177 The concept car designed by women, for women got a Reddit thread on September 18.
