I just wanted to let you know of a tool that Holger Motzkau (User:Prolineserver) did. It does not really solve your problem though, but it is close to. It lists the page views from a category on one Wikipedia (and all the interwikilinks and the QRpedia statistics). It shouldn't be too hard too feed it with a list of articles with a certain template I guess.

James seeks a one page overview of most read articles for any wiki/project.

A list of articles per project could be retrieved from the mediawiki API.
I did something similar with list of articles per category (incl subcat, x
levels deep).
Perl script on request.

Then the machine readable version of grok could be used to retrieve article
counts. (see Dario's comment)
However this might now scale well to 1(0),000's of projects and 100,000's
pages.

In the somewhat longer run I see two developments that might warrant putting
this on hold:

1)
The new analytics cluster will be used to aggregate page and image views.
(Another use case would be aggregating image views per donating GLAM
institute)
Which aggregations precisely better be determined once the infrastructure is
available, and capacity is known.

2)
There are scripts to aggregate Domas' hourly page view feeds into monthly
files.
These aggregates are so much smaller, after cruft removal only 2Gb per
month, without losing hourly resolution, easy to download and
archive/process somewhere else.

These need final work, I spoke to long time dev. wikimedian EMW at Wikimania
and he might be interested to take this upon him, starting October. From
these aggregates the 1(0),000 of projects overviews could be generated in a
batch process, mind you after month completed.

James,

can you expand on this request? If you are interested in per-article
pageview stats you can use: http://stats.grok.se/

For example: http://stats.grok.se/fr/201207/Paris
A machine readable version: http://stats.grok.se/json/fr/201207/Paris
