What BBN said about it

1. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFifty-nine thousand people on Wikipedia read a page about the chemical that makes lemon peel smell like lemon peel.

2. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's our number three, Limonene, and the page calls it a cyclic monoterpene named after the Italian word for lemon.

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy guess is a chemistry quiz.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOkay, but why now? Did somebody say something about my kitchen?

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI do keep a bowl of lemons out, and the peel has been looking at me funny.

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody was reading about your lemons. It's a compound in the peel, and people were curious.

7. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNumber two on our list is the twenty twenty-six Ballon d'Or, with two hundred thirty-seven thousand six hundred views.

8. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's the football award, and the page says the ceremony was at the London Palladium.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo hundred thousand people checking an award? They were looking to see if I won!

10. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWon what? You didn't play.

11. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd number one on our list is just the plain Ballon d'Or page, two hundred seventy-one thousand views.

12. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's the same award, presented by France Football since nineteen fifty-six, so the full ceremony page lost to the general explainer.

13. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo they read the ceremony page, wasn't enough, then the award page. Two opinions on me.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd do the same if my name was in it. Does the page have a section for guys who almost got nominated?

15. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt doesn't. Wikipedia only lists people who got in, and I checked.
