Best of 2016 – Games, Apps, Books and Other Content on Google Play

The year 2016 is just about to end and Android users have left their footprints over at Google Play letting the makers count the most popular content of the year.

Google has released the list of most trending content of 2016 including from categories Apps, Games, Songs, Movies, TV Shows, and Books. The top downloaded/streamed content include Face Changer 2, Pokemon GO, Stressed Out, Dead Pool, Game of Thrones, and Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe respectively.

The Force and Harry Potter were no match for a different kind of superhero as Deadpool and “Deadpool Kills the Universe” dominated the movie and book charts this year. Game of Thrones kept The Walking Dead away to once again claim the Iron Throne as the most popular TV show of 2016. Twenty One Pilots had no need to feel “Stressed Out” as their single came in as the number one most streamed song of the year, but don’t feel “Sorry” for Justin Bieber who came in at number two. And, of course, Pokemon GO captured the top trending game spot.

You should check out top five lists from Google Play for the most popular content around the globe in 2016 below. For complete local lists, visit Google Play.
