From Trump to 'Thrones': These were the 25 most popular Wikipedia pages in 2019

Did you spend 2019 looking up pop culture's biggest moments? You're not alone.

This year, Wikipedia received hundreds of millions of hits to its most popular pages, which spanned politics, movies and TV, music and world events. In turn, the site and its massive community-run encyclopedia library educated the masses about everything from Donald Trump to Jason Momoa.

As the data dictates, this year was a major one for entertainment. "Game of Thrones" ended, and the Avengers series concluded with "Endgame." Veteran stars were celebrated and new celebrities were minted. Both Queen and the Queen were mythologized with a film and television show, respectively, but the real winners were the superheroes who dominated the big screen all year long.

That's not to say anything of the other major topic for Americans this year: the presidency. Trump continued his divisive White House tenure, appearing in nonstop news headlines. Allies were made and lost, and adversaries emerged on both sides of the aisle.

And Wikipedia was there for all of it, tallying up page visits throughout the year.

See the above gallery of Wikipedia's 25 most-visited article pages for 2019.
