So I just recently discovered that WMF is now publishing stats for media files.
So in terms of most popular videos, it seems to be mostly space and
porn. (This list is url of file minus the
https://upload.wikimedia.org
part then a comma, then the number of downloads on 2015-07-25)

This comes from the top1000 csv zip files at
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediacounts/daily/2015/, using the
mediacounts.2015-07-25.v00.sorted_key17.csv file.
Anyways, thought it would be interesting to this list.
