The most viewed articles for December 2009, derived from historical data.

In December 2007, the website stats.grok.se began offering comprehensive statistics where the viewcounts of all articles for each day could be reviewed.

After removing non-article pages, the below list of the Top 75 most viewed articles for December 2009 was created in January 2017.
