For the first time in years, not a single "Real Housewives of Atlanta" item landed in the top 10 of most popular entries on my Radio & TV Talk blog. And there was just one in the top 25.

But that hardly means you readers were more high minded than in year's past. There was very intense interest in a VH1 show "Sorority Sisters," the travails of radio host Bert Weiss, my interview with "Empire" star Jussie Smollett and Sam Champion's whereabouts. And people still care about Frank Ski three years after he left V-103.

Here are the top 25 in order, as of December 18, 2015:
