Sports seemed to dominate the pop culture mishmash of the chart in the week of May 29 – June 4, 2016, with the death of Muhammad Ali leading the chart, basketball star Stephen Curry at #6, and two football topics UEFA Euro 2016 (#7) and Copa América Centenario (#9) also placing in the Top 10. But Game of Thrones also had two slots in the Top 10 as well, and probably will until their season finale. Sadly though, the mighty AFC Wimbledon who I have mentioned before, and who amazingly did get promoted to the English Football League One, still failed to get near the Top 25. But their day is coming, I just know it.

It's not uncommon for this list to become a parade of the dead; death is random, and often falls in quick succession. But as far as I remember, this is the first time the top three slots have been due to recent death. One, Muhammad Ali, the final end of a long, respected and bountiful life; another, Kimbo Slice, the result of the strange random happenstance that seems to be the Reaper's hallmark. And then there's Christina Grimmie, a death so infuriatingly senseless and cruel that calling it tragic is too forgiving. Outside these commemorations, our readers were mainly interested in traditional summer distractions: sports, movies and, of course, Game of Thrones.
