⭠ Last week's report

It's Kamala Harris week, plus several Indian women. With overlap. Along with 10+ million views to Joe Biden's running mate, the articles related to her were enough to kick off the pandemic currently screwing everyone!

Rank	Article	Class	Views	Image	Notes/about
1	Kamala Harris		11,843,595		California lawyer and senator who was announced this week as the Democrat VP pick with running-mate #8. She was a popular choice, had a brief presidential campaign last year, and brings the rest of her family to the list. In the days after her selection, birtherism was reborn: though she was definitely born in California, with an American father, she is not white, which is enough to send certain people into discredit mode.
2	Shyamala Gopalan		1,851,954		As a result of #1 being chosen as a VP candidate, attention was brought in for the whole family - in order, her mother, her sister (above), her father, and her husband (below).
3	Maya Harris		1,644,390
4	Donald J. Harris		1,640,562
5	Douglas Emhoff		1,427,685
6	QAnon		1,370,205		Marjorie Taylor Greene, a vocal supporter of Q, won a primary to a safe seat in the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday. Trump twote in support the next morning, leading to a question in a briefing. Trump sidestepped it, without mentioning Q.
7	The Umbrella Academy (TV series)		986,180		Netflix released the second season of this a little while ago, setting the apocalypse in Dallas. The moral of the story seems to be that even when you try really hard, you can still get everything wrong? That, or join a cult.
8	Joe Biden		836,439		While current president Trump (#18) has spent a lot of time on this list, the Democrats are presently occupying a lot of the top 10. Biden is Trump's competition as the countdown to November's election continues. He picked a running mate, #1, this week.
9	Gunjan Saxena		814,894		An Indian female air force pilot, a movie about her life (where she's played by actress Janhvi Kapoor, pictured) was released August 12 on Netflix.
10	Deaths in 2020		813,025		"But if this ever changin' world in which we're living Makes you give in and cry Say Live and Let Die!"
11	Meena Harris		782,464		Another lawyer, daughter of #3 and by extension niece of #1.
12	2020 World Snooker Championship		586,456		Some sports - some sports - are still on. Snooker is one of them.
13	Collin Morikawa		574,348		And golf is another. This 23-year-old won a major this week.
14	Independence Day (India)		542,528		Occurred on August 15, celebrating independence from Britain in 1947.
16	List of most-disliked YouTube videos		540,829		A trailer for Sadak 2, released Tuesday, has become the 3rd most disliked Youtube video. The 11 million dislikes come from fans of the late Sushant Singh Rajput, enraged by the fact that the film's star Alia Bhatt and her father who directs this movie, Mahesh Bhatt, didn't like Rajput that much.
16	Pizzagate conspiracy theory		532,407		Here's that other conspiracy theory the alt right just loves.
17	Shakuntala Devi		520,430		Another Indian woman who was the subject of a recent biopic, this one on Amazon Prime, and starring Vidya Balan (pictured).
18	2020 Beirut explosions		514,045		Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab and his cabinet resigned on Monday, as the explosions on August 4 seem to be caused by government negligence. The resignations haven't stopped the daily protests, though.
19	Donald Trump		498,423		He doesn't like #1.
20	Belarus		477,454		Alexander Lukashenko was first elected President of Belarus in 1994, and shortly after won referendums to massively increase his power and extend his five year term by an extra 2. Though he claims to have won a sixth term last Sunday, protesters want him to step down in favor of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.
21	Political positions of Kamala Harris		457,688		#1 probably won't have a huge impact in a Biden administration, but it's still fun to get mad about her political views.
22	Rahat Indori		455,783		This Bollywood lyricist and Urdu poet died of something related to COVID-19.
23	Susan Rice		455,688		Barack Obama's National Security Advisor was considered a contender in Biden's veepstakes, though she lost out to this report's #1 entry.
24	Tony West (attorney)		444,187		As the article title suggests, he's another lawyer. Yes, he's related to #1: brother-in-law (husband of #3). He was also a DA under Obama and #8.
25	WAP (song)		437,673		A Cardi B song about women liking sex. Some men on the internet seem to have taken this with personal offense. If you somehow haven't heard Ben Shapiro dismissively saying "Wet Ass P-Word", do yourself a favor and look it up.

Honorable mentions:

• 26 Beau Biden (431,336): The deceased son of #9 was a colleague of #1; this relationship is cited as one reason why she was picked over other candidates.
• 27 Ronnie O'Sullivan (408,007): For those who snooker is something for pubs and college dorms, #12 proves there can even be a world champion of it - a title gained by this Englishman.
• 28 Kamala (wrestler) (388,231): A wrestler who died this week and, strangely enough, was also called Kamala Harris. Maybe that added a few more pageviews.
• 29 Richard Jewell (373,488): HBO premiered the Clint Eastwood film about this security guard, who discovered the device that caused the Centennial Olympic Park bombing and was wrongfully accused of having been a part of it.
• 30 COVID-19 pandemic (373,198): Well, this goddamned disease certainly didn't go away. But all the new topics broke the pandemic's streak on the Top 25 Report, which started back in January when the article was still 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.

Exclusions

Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue.
