Facebook has released lists of the most talked about athletes, entertainers, politicians, movies, and shows of the year. Not just in the U.S., but worldwide.
Here are the top five in each category:
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is #1 among the athletes — followed by Manny Pacquiao, Ronda Rousey, and soccer players Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Football air pressure aficionado Tom Brady is #6.
2. Ed Sheeran tops the list of entertainers — followed by Taylor Swift, Kanye West, reggaeton star Nicky Jam, and Wiz Khalifa. Caitlyn Jenner, who didn’t even exist at the beginning of the year, is #8.
3. Barack Obama is the most talked about politician . . . followed by Donald Trump, Brazil’s first female president Dilma Rousseff, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders. Apparently, Trump qualified here and not in the “entertainer” category.
4. Not surprisingly, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is #1 among movies — followed by “Fast & Furious 7”, “Jurassic World”, “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, and “American Sniper”. The cinematic masterpiece “Fifty Shades of Grey” is #7.
5. “Game of Thrones” tops the list of TV shows — followed by “The Walking Dead”, “The Daily Show”, “Saturday Night Live”, and “WWE Raw”. A couple notches down is “19 Kids and Counting”, which benefitted from some not-so-holy Duggar scandals.
