To get the top 2 million articles you'll have to write a research proposal and get one of the folks with access to volunteer to do this.  This list is probably your best chance of finding someone like that, just let everyone know what you're looking for and why.  (The reason this wouldn't be available via an api is because it's a lot of data and not likely to be useful in more than your case).

Hello,

I am doing a research on Wikipedia Visitor patterns and I could really use your team's help. Is it possible to get a list of the 2,000,000 most visited pages in Wikipedia since January 2015? I just need:

Article Title (as used on the Wikipedia website); number of visitors

if it is not easy to get the number since January 2015, I am open to a date range if you have a date range that makes the query easy for you.

I would really appreciate your team's help. I'll gladly donate something to The Foundation in return for your help. If you have an alternative way/service/suggestion on how I can get this please do let me know.

Mark Haans
