I only found the abundance of rappers depressing.

Level 54
Sep 9, 2021
There's nothing inherently wrong with rap as a genre, even if you have an issue with specific rappers. Sometimes I think people should just get off their high horse and let people enjoy something
+1
Level 46
Mar 16, 2024
Actually there IS A problem. It is riddled with misogyny and lacks instrumentation and/or a singing voice as instrument so they are not " musicians.". The genre promotes unnatural societal woes such as prostitution and crime. Societal decay is unhealthy.
+1
Level 46
Mar 16, 2024
Even if you argue rock has misogynistic elements, it was never so abusive as rap is. And only anarchist metal promotes crime as rap does. At least they play instruments though and so can still be categorised as musicians.

It indicates the immense popularity of rap.

I don't like rap 'music'.

Sep 13, 2021
I find the abundance of people like you, who think rap music isn't music, depressing.
+1
Level 46
Mar 16, 2024
Maybe you should look up the word music and define it. It involves talent in playing an instrument or using your voice at a broad octave range. Rap is speaking or shouting. It isn't music. You can like it. But it is not music. It's rap.
+7
Level 55
Sep 15, 2021
Rap is cool. I think a lot of people find this list depressing because figures like Eminem and Niki Minaj are googled by millions upon millions of people who don't even know historical figures or how their governments operate, etc. Most kids can tell you tons of meaningless info on degenerate celebrity morons, but can't locate continents on a map, or explain the branches of government. This puts us into a huge deficit when trying to keep your nation and culture afloat.

It's not cool. And thankfully it is not cool among gen alpha. They have great taste and are reaching back to actual music thank God. Millennials really destroyed the music scene.

Spouse? I mean she did gain acclaim as a model and was a former first lady. I'm sure something other than "spouse" could be used. Also, is anyone else happily surprised to see Stephen Hawking so high on this list?
+5
Level 64
Sep 9, 2021
It would be interesting to see how many page views she had before Trump entered the political arena.

If the majority of views came after then I think it's fair to use the term "spouse".

Could you maybe make it a bit more lenient on the spelling? I spelt Barack with two 'r's and I missed him. Also, a bit more information, like age or examples of things that they have done could be useful. But I love the idea of the quiz.

I found typing in last names worked a lot better since then you don't have to type the whole name out

How was "person" counted? For instance I struggle to believe that figures such as Jesus, Muhammed or Gautama Buddha got fewer views than Sunny Leone???

Trust me, they did. Unbelievable I know. They feature on my quiz Most Viewed Pre-Modern People on Wikipedia.

Level 82
Sep 9, 2021
well for one thing, the people you mentioned are much more well-known and talked about outside of the internet. I have never in my life looked up Jesus or Mohammad on Wikipedia because I've never needed to; I've learned about them in classes and religious groups, etc. etc.

A list of the most viewed that died before the internet (or perhaps any broadcasting medium) would probably be more interesting.

And call me an anglocentric but I feel like just "the queen" should be acceptable for Elizabeth II.

Level 52

maybe do one like this without people, that would be cool

Fun fact: the word 'sus' originated in the 1930s

Sep 10, 2021
The people most obsessed with Hillary Clinton don't trust sources of information that use any sort of fact checking.
+3
Level 55
Sep 15, 2021
Just like real life. Bill got to be president, and has all the popularity from those who either love him or love to make fun of his actions. Hillary is just a hated bore for most folks.

Bonaparte, Stalin, Columbus or Caesar didn't make the list. Instead, there are golden figures such as Kim Kardashian or Nicki Minaj. Humanity is brilliant
+5
Level 55
Sep 15, 2021
this is why the USA, especially, is in deep trouble. Kids today know way more about Kartrashians than how to budget money, locate nations on a map, or explain the Constitution. They can now be trained to vote for idiots, with nothing but stupid emotions and propaganda, or not to take an interest in anything at all.
+2
Level 67
Feb 23, 2022
But also guys, the more well known someone is, the less people are going to need to look it up on Wikipedia. For instance, Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha
+1
Level 46
Mar 16, 2024
I disagree. I feel they should be wanting to know more about those figures and reading up on them. Pathetic any rappers, or TV reality people are on there.

John Lennon was right. Even 60 years later, he's still more popular than Jesus Christ.
+1
Level 46
Mar 16, 2024
That was a nasty thing to say because that's a lot of people's religion. He was a horrible man who abused his wife and Julian. Funny how stupid people are about celebrities.
+1
Level 67
Mar 17, 2024
I think you’re the stupid one, not knowing that IsleAuHaulte was quoting a well-known John Lennon remark to point out the fact that John appeared on the list and not Jesus. No need to be so hostile. I’m a Christian and I’m not offended. Leaving 15 comments passionately winging at people who like music that you don’t like on a single quiz is pretty weird.

Level 75

Trump has multiple claims to fame - media personality, actor, wrestler, criminal, entrepreneur, etc. Personally, I wouldn't put leader at the top of that list.
+1

As someone not from the USA, 'leader' and 'criminal' are the only ones I'm really aware of. Hadn't heard of him before 2015.
+1
Level 50
Aug 1, 2023
I kind of agree that the list paints a bleak picture of which people society seems more interested in but we have to realize the internet is not old. So most people are looking up contemporary people because they directly influence their lives through media. No one talks about Napoleon outside of history classes or niche circumstances, but many hear Beyonce's music or news about the Kardashians daily.

John Cena is higher up on this list than George Bush and Bill Clinton. There may be hope for the future

I would call Bruce Lee a martial artist first, rather than an actor. Brandon was an actor
