Google Play Store shows its top movies, books, music, and news sources for 2016 (so far)

At the top of the most-read news sources we have old standbys like the Huffington Post, TMZ, the New Yorker, and Reuters. No real surprises there. However, once I hopped over to the top books of 2016, I found myself totally isolated from humanity. Even as fairly avid reader, I was familiar with literally zero books riding along the top. One with You by Sylvia Day, a Crossfire Novel? Have I been living under a rock?

Fortunately, perusing the top movies of 2016 made me feel right at home again. Star Wars: The Force Awakens naturally perches at the top of the list, followed immediately by Deadpool, The Hunger Games, and Spectre. I had to go all the way down to Daddy’s Home before I ran into something I hadn’t seen.

On the musical side of things, Drake is clearly killing it in terms of top albums. It was a small comfort to see David Bowie’s Blackstar riding along in eighth place. Those were top albums, but top songs were a slightly different story. Care to guess what the number 1 of 2016 so far is? I know you know it. That’s right, it’s “Work (feat. Drake)” by Rihanna.
