This time last year, we wrote that 2015 was "a cavalcade of devastation and tragedy that makes you wonder when it became so bloody awful being a human being." Thank God all that changed in 2016. It's just been a right rosy old time.

To keep abreast of all these cultural developments, you flocked to WhatCulture.com in your veritable droves. What captured your attention the most? In a sort of psuedo-scientific attempt to chronicle the cultural zeitgeist of the past twelve months, here's our top ten most read articles.

2016, we'll miss ya'.
