All-Time Top Ten Blog Posts (May 2011)
I do enjoy writing my blog posts but it's always interesting to see which ones you are reading. Once a month I'll reveal which of my blogs have proved the most popular. I expect you'll be as stunned as me when you look through the list. Over the year we'll see if the current top ten changes as new posts continue to be added. In case anyone has missed any of the golden ten, links have been attached to direct you to those posts but if you want to read more blogs don't forget to check out the sitemap.
1 (1) Top Ten Novels #1: Norwegian Wood
Norwegian Wood reached 500 hits this month, far more than any other post in the top ten. Murakami's novel continued to enjoy views on an almost daily basis and it's safe to say this should still be riding high in this top ten for the remainder of the year at least.
Frozen has become less popular in recent months. Previously there wouldn't be a day when it wasn't enjoying at least a few hits but now it's been left with only isolated instances when the blog is viewed. The rest of the top ten have started to close the gap so will June be the month that Frozen begins to slip down the list?
3 (3) Classic Film Scene #14: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
This classic scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest spent most of the month seeing the posts directly beneath it threaten to snatch no.3. However, Cuckoo's Nest continually responded to such attacks, maintaining a very small gap from no.4 but reducing the deficit on no.2.
4 (4) Classic Film Scene #9: Pan's Labyrinth
This scene from Pan's Labyrinth vied for no.3 but just couldn't catch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Things have started to get pretty tight in the middle of the top ten but Pan's Labyrinth managed to hold steady at no.4.
5 (6) Top Ten Scrubs Moments #4: Ben's Funeral
One of the saddest moments from Scrubs is up one place this month having competed all month with the posts around it. Replacing Night Watch at no.5, this post won't be able to rest for long as the competition hots up in June.
6 (11) Top Ten World Cinema #2: House of Flying Daggers
Our gatecrasher this month is my second favourite film from the majestic realm of world cinema. The rise of Zhang Yimou's stunning action/adventure/romance ensured that the Christmas monopoly in this top ten finally came to an end in May.
7 (7) Top Ten Novels #5: The Thief of Always
Clive Barker's The Thief of Always rose and fell in the top ten as House of Flying Daggers entered the elite and Night Watch began to slip down the pecking order. Climbing as high as no.5 at one stage The Thief of Always reached month end in the same position as it started.
8 (5) Top Ten Novels #7: Night Watch
Our big loser of the month was Terry Pratchett's Night Watch which still collected some views during May but not enough to retain its place in the top 5. Can it stage a comeback in June or will Night Watch be staring down the barrel of an exit from the lucrative ten?
9 (8) Top Ten Scrubs Moments #1: Dr Cox Loses Patients
My favourite moment from Scrubs comfortably held onto a place in the top ten but it didn't collect enough views to rise up the ranks. In fact this post seems content to reside in the lower echelons of the top ten and there's certainly no shame in that.
10 (10) Top Ten Novels #9: Wizard's First Rule
The first book in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series hunted down Lonely This Christmas at the start of the month and managed to simultaneously keep House of Flying Daggers at bay. Although the top ten waved goodbye to the Christmas songs, Wizard's First Rule was eventually overtaken by House of Flying Daggers and had to be content with propping up the rest of the top ten.
