What's the story, morning glory? (August 25 to 31)
| Rank | Article | Class | Views | Image | Notes/about |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Oasis (band) |  |
1,428,910 | _Oasis_(3617105240).jpg) |
Mancunian brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher (plus other musicians that weren't as fond of squabbling) spent the 90s and 2000s making music and fighting each other, with the latter part escalating so much that the brothers broke up their own band in 2009. So what a relief for Oasis fans to know that, in the wake of the 30th anniversary of the band's debut album, Definitely Maybe, a 2025 reunion tour was announced, initially limited to the British Isles, but with hopes that it will expand to other parts of the world, especially as tickets have sold out fairly quickly. The rest of Oasis will include three more past members: guitarists Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (who played on the band's beloved first two albums and the divisive and overblown third) and Gem Archer (who joined in the tour for the fourth album and remained until the end), and drummer Chris Sharrock (part of the band's doomed final tour). Some members from Noel's side band, the High Flying Birds, will also join in. |
| 2 | Johnny Gaudreau |  |
1,067,759 |  |
"Johnny Hockey" was a standout name in the NHL, but sadly his career was cut short at just 31, as he and his brother Matthew (who also played hockey) died after being run over while riding their bikes in New Jersey. An outpour of commotion emerged, including from Gaudreau's current and former teams, as the late winger left behind two young children, while his sister was forced to cancel her wedding. Everyone also hopes the drunk driver who caused the accident faces the consequences. |

| 4 | Stree 2 |  |
1,002,390 |  |
This Bollywood comedy horror film, the fifth installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe and a sequel to the first chapter of the series, released on the Indian Independence Day, and has soon become the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024, as well as the ninth highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. It is also the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2024, behind only Tollywood epic science fiction movie, Kalki 2898 AD. |
| 5 | Deadpool & Wolverine | |
959,740 | .jpg) |
The 34th film in the MCU was first released a few months ago, bridging the franchise with the Fox Universe and becoming the first ever MCU film to receive an R-rating; it has now become the seventh highest grossing film from the franchise, surpassing Iron Man 3. |
| 6 | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. | |
859,701 | _(cropped).jpg) |
Kennedy hasn't fully dropped out of the presidential race — but he's withdrawing his name from most swing states, making sure that he won't affect the electoral vote, but still can be voted for in most states. As of writing, his website says that Kennedy is aiming for 5% or more of the popular vote, as that will qualify him for public funding in future elections. |
| 7 | Pavel Durov |  |
857,832 | _(cropped).jpg) |
Anti-establishment, Russian, and a billionaire, Durov is the founder of VK, the so-called "Facebook for Russia", as well as the fifth most-used messaging service, Telegram. Because of the latter, he was arrested in France on August 24, reportedly for failing to remove drug traffickers and child pornographers on the platform. Russia is not happy, although Durov himself left the country in 2014, after refusing to hand over the personal data of Euromaidan protesters in Ukraine to the Federal Security Service. |
| 8 | Sven-Göran Eriksson | |
817,262 | .jpg) |
The Swedish football coach died of pancreatic cancer on August 26, at the age of 76. He was probably best known for managing England's Golden Generation in the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups, but also won lots of national and European titles with the likes of IFK Göteborg, Benfica and Lazio. |
| 9 | Tulsi Gabbard | |

Just like #6, another former Democratic Presidential hopeful turned right-leaning Independent, who is now working with Donald Trump. |
| 10 | Liam Gallagher | |
731,595 |  |
After the unceremonious split of #1 in 2009, their lead singer spent five more years with other musicians from the band in side group Beady Eye before pursuing a solo career, which earlier this year included a collaboration with Stone Roses guitarist John Squire in the indicatively titled Liam Gallagher & John Squire. Now, though, the main focus is on the 2025 reunion tour of Oasis. |

| Rank | Article | Class | Views | Image | Notes/about |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emily Armstrong (musician) | |
1,428,603 | .jpg) |
The lead singer of Dead Sara has been enlisted for the revival of a very popular nu metal group (#5) that previously disbanded under tragic conditions.
However, Linkin Park's decision to appoint Armstrong has rapidly faced criticism, due to her perceived support of convicted rapist and disgraced actor Danny Masterson, as well as her ties to the anti-psychiatry Church of Scientology; both are very triggering topics for a considerable part of fans who have been grieving for the loss of late lead singer Chester Bennington, including one of his own children. Armstrong did address her past ties to Masterson, but as of this issue's publication, she has not clarified her status within the Scientology Church, yet. |
| 2 | Rich Homie Quan | |
1,144,320 |  |
On September 5, Dequantes Devontay Lamar, better known as Rich Homie Quan, passed away at the age of 34, with the cause of death being still unclear in spite of an autopsy.
The Atlanta-born and based rapper scored a few hits in the 2010s, like "Type of Way", "Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)" and the team-up single with Young Thug, "Lifestyle". |
| 3 | The Greatest of All Time | |
1,087,524 | .jpg) |
This Kollywood science fiction action film, starring Thalapathy in his 68th film in a lead role, was released last Thursday.
It is expected to be Vijay's penultimate film (or the last one, depending on his plans to call off his next project), since the actor announced his political entry earlier this year. As a result, his fans did not waste their (presumably last) chance to celebrate the film worldwide: the film grossed ₹126.5 crore (US$15 million) in the opening day global box office, emerging as the second highest-grossing Tamil film in 2024, while also giving the actor two consecutive films to gross over ₹100 crores in the opening day. In the process, the film also set many other records, such as the first South Indian film to be shown in more than 20 locations in Norway, including the iSense hall at Odeon Cinemas etc. |

When it will be right? I don't know. What it will be like? I don't know. We live in hope of deliverance From the darkness that surrounds us... |
| 5 | Linkin Park | |
967,977 |  |
The tragic death of lead singer Chester Bennington first led to Linkin Park's disbandment back in 2017. However, on September 5, they officially announced a reunion, with original members Bennington and Rob Bourdon being replaced with #1 and Colin Brittain, respectively.
On the same occasion, the band delighted fans further by teasing a new studio album and a six-date arena tour, but public reception grew colder in the following days, as concerning details about the past of new co-vocalist Armstrong surfaced. |
| 6 | Indian Airlines Flight 814 | |
966,085 |  |
Netflix show IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack recently recalled an incident from 25 years ago, describing how an airplane was hijacked by five terrorists from Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, under support by al-Qaeda (who'd infamously hijack four planes in a single day in 2001), keeping 174 passengers and 11 crewpeople hostage for a week, while stabbing one to death to intimidate everyone else, before releasing them in the Afghan city of Kandahar in exchange for three imprisoned terrorists. Those responsible have never been identified. |

It's showtime! Yes, the recently released sequel and the 1988 original were directly above each other in views, allowing a proper summoning of The Ghost with the Most. Life (or afterlife, in this case) is funny like that sometimes. Anyway, after a cartoon series and a musical, it was finally time for the devious and hyperactive ghost Betelgeuse to haunt the cinemas again, with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice bringing back director Tim Burton and actors Michael Keaton (Beej himself), Winona Ryder (goth Lydia Deetz, now the host of a supernatural talk show) and Catherine O'Hara (Lydia's stepmom Delia). |

Two aggressive Mutants teamed up in a movie full of blood, swearing and multiversal shenanigans, that has recently made over a billion dollars, becoming the second highest-grossing movie of this year, behind only Inside Out 2 (which, in turn, rightfully became the highest-grossing animation ever, overtaking a very unnecessary remake).
On a side note, Marvel Cinematic Universe has returned later this month with the Disney+ show Agatha All Along. |

This 23-year-old American tennis player, who won her first title at the Hobart International back in January, has just had her best Grand Slam performance during the US Open at home, where she eventually lost in the semi-finals to Aryna Sabalenka, who then proceeded to win it all over another American, Jessica Pegula. |

| 1 | James Earl Jones | |
3,034,998 |  |
One of the most respected African American actors ever, particularly for that booming voice that spoke iconic lines like "No. I am your father", "Everything the light touches is our kingdom", "Steel isn't strong, boy, flesh is stronger!" and "This is CNN", James Earl Jones had a storied career of nearly seven decades, resulting in him being one of the few who won the EGOT (albeit with an honorary Oscar). Retired ever since starring in Coming 2 America in 2021, he died on September 9, at the age of 93. |

Donald Trump's supporters are concerned about all the influence he's receiving from this activist and self-proclaimed "pro-white nationalist" and a "proud Islamophobe". |

This Kollywood science fiction action film, starring Thalapathy in his 68th film in a lead role, was released last week. Earlier this year, the actor announced his political entry, making this movie his penultimate work ever, thus his fans celebrated it worldwide. The film debuted at the second place at the worldwide box office, behind only #7, on its opening weekend. It also became the second Tamil film to enter the global weekend chart of Comscore, with the other film being the same actor's previous film. The film grossed ₹350 crore (US$41 million) worldwide in its opening week, against a budget of ₹300−400 crore, becoming the the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2024 and the fourth highest-grossing Indian film of 2024. Thalapathy's next and last film has now been announced, and the fans are already preparing for the One Last Dance! |

23 years have passed since this tragedy took place in three different US locations, where many lost their loved ones due to a terrorist attack masterminded by Al-Qaeda. For those interested, it also marks 23 years since the release of the criminally underrated soundtrack from the famously bad movie by this writer's favourite chanteuse, Mariah Carey. The picture on the left summarizes all of it. |

This American mystery drama series, which is an adaptation of the 2018 novel of the same name by Elin Hilderbrand and includes Nicole Kidman (pictured) in its cast, premiered on Netflix last week. |

36 years later, director Tim Burton and actors Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara returned to a small Connecticut city haunted by weird ghosts. Filled with Burton's signature aesthetics and many funny moments, including a musical number featuring one of the corniest songs ever written, this movie was warmly received and had an impressive $111 million opening in North America alone, which was already enough to cover its production budget. |

The death list interrupted, but with three mentions of his name, "it's showtime"! Fresh off Pee-wee's Big Adventure, in 1988 Tim Burton directed the story of a recently deceased couple trying to scare away two yuppies (and their goth daughter) from their old house, at a certain point bringing in the hyperactive undead maniac the movie is named after. The Geffen Company tried to get a sequel shortly after the movie, with Burton himself thinking about doubling the insanity in Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, but Betelgeuse and Lydia Deetz only had a cartoon and a musical adaptation before the proper follow-up listed above. |

This film, starring Aaron Pierre as a former Marine and Don Johnson as the chief of a corrupt police force, was released by Netflix on September 6 to positive reviews. |

| Deaths in 2024 | 2083 | Along with the ones mentioned above and a few others from the last Traffic Report, other notable deceased of the period included Phil Donahue, Sid Eudy, Rebecca Cheptegei and Sérgio Mendes. |
| Andrew Jackson and the slave trade in the United States | 1404 | Back in June, user Jengod split from the list of American slave traders this page regarding the seventh U.S. President Andrew Jackson's involvement in slave trading, and has been working on it extensively ever since. |
| India at the 2024 Summer Paralympics | 1392 | For all of India's underperformances at the Olympics, their disabled para-athletes have impressive showings at the Paralympic Games. Just this year in Paris, the country managed to win 29 medals, which is the same amount they have got in the last 52 years of the Olympics! These include seven golds, four of which in athletics and one each in shooting, archery and badminton. |
| List of Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign endorsements | 1259 | A laundry list of supporters for the current VP, including Republicans that dislike their own candidate. |
| Great Britain at the 2024 Summer Paralympics | 1149 | Like Greece created the Olympics, Great Britain is the origin of the Paralympics. They're the second most successful nation at the games, behind (no surprise) the United States, and Paris 2024 had them in second place in the medal table, behind only China, with 124 medals, 49 of which golden. |
| 2024 Pacific typhoon season | 1100 | Misplaced Pages's branch that edits cyclone pages is a very dedicated bunch, as reflected in over 200 Featured Articles. Updates came for the storms formed in the Pacific, the strongest of which was Typhoon Yagi, that hit Southeast Asia and South China in early September. |
| Typhoon Yagi | 1060 | |
| Electoral fraud in the United States | 1012 | The upcoming election turns this into a relevant topic. The article even notes the current Republican candidate both claimed this as for why he lost the popular vote in 2016 to Hillary Clinton, and for why he outright was defeated by Joe Biden four years later (he unsuccesfully sued, his party tried to change how the elections work, and his fans went too far in refusing defeat). |
| Brazil at the 2024 Summer Paralympics | 910 | A relatively recent emerging Olympic power that has won at least 10 medals in all editions since 1996, Brazil has also been a proven Paralympic potency since 1984, ranking 16th in the all-time Paralympic Games medal table (albeit one of the teams above them is the now defunct state of West Germany), probably a reflection of abrangent publicly funded health care. Paris 2024 had them rank fifth in the medal table with 89 medals, 25 of them golden. |
| List of Canadian hip hop musicians | 874 | Most people probably only know Drake, but one user is doing his best to extend this list. |
| 2024 US Open – Men's singles | 871 | In both genders, this year's tennis Grand Slams played on hard courts were won by the same player: after Aryna Sabalenka got the Australian Open-US Open double, it was time for Jannik Sinner to do the same, overcoming his adversary Taylor Fritz despite him having the support of the Flushing Meadows crowd. A notable fact is that aside from Sinner, the other three semifinalists - Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Jack Draper - were all reaching that phase of a Grand Slam for the first time. |
| 2024 Democratic National Convention | 809 | The 2024 DNC was held in Chicago from August 19 to 22, a loud, boisterous convention with lots and lots of speeches. It's also where delegates selected the presidential nominee. Kamala Harris, the current Vice-President who was literally the only candidate, was selected. |
| 2024 Summer Paralympics medal table | 757 | A few weeks after the Summer Olympics, it was time for athletes with disabilities to get the spotlight, in the same host city of Paris. Aside from the United States not being as dominating - they were third, behind China and Great Britain - a big difference for this year's Paralympics compared to the Olympics was the presence of nearly three times more Russians and Belarusians competing for no flag (they would have ranked fifth if not for the neutrality excluding them from the medal table, thus officially that place is from the aforementioned Brazil). |
| 2024 Ligas Departamentales del Perú | 745 | From para-athletes to regular ones, as one user made lots of updates on Peru's fifth division football tournament. |
| Black Myth: Wukong | 742 | A video game released on August 20 and based on the 16th century Chinese fantasy novel Journey to the West, a classic in Chinese literature. There was much hype surrounding its release (it topped Steam's best-selling chart and smashed the same platform's record for highest-concurrent player count, a record previously held by Elden Ring) and has released to positive reception. The game gained noteriety when its developer, Game Science, was accused of being sexist by IGN in November 2023, and the game got even more noteriety when streamers were instructed to not mention "feminist propaganda", "quarantine", "COVID-19", and Chinese politics, in order to comply with Chinese law. If the Chinese government doesn't appreciate things said about them, they can take you away like they did with Jack Ma. |
