A researcher created the lists on toolserver and it has gotten quite a bit of attention. The lists: http://toolserver.org/~johang/2012.html And, I'd point you to a couple of the stories here (I think the Atlantic one is particularly interesting): All Things D | The most popular pages on Wikipedia in 2012...
