What's coming: 2015's total eclipse of the Sun will occur on March 20. In previous year's, eclipses are associated with a spike in pageviews for Eclipse. Already, Eclipse is averaging 10% more daily pageviews than it received in March 2014. A big push here could move Hot Chicks and Jesus (Team 2), currently at 4th place, into a very tight race for second with 50 Shades of Wiki and The Google, the Veto, and the Mr. Mom.

What's coming: Israel has been in the news this month; its pageviews are up 22% from this time last year, probably because of Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to U.S. Congress. This speech was fortunately (or, deliberately) well timed for the Prime Minister, just a couple weeks before Israel's Election Day. On March 17, Israel will vote in the Knesset (legislature) elections. It's not clear if Netanyahu will retain his role as Prime Minster; he has recently spoken of a "a tremendous effort, worldwide, to topple" him.
Sustained pageviews for Israel would keep E-Cigs in Space comfortably in 7th place, making 8th place Wiki Wiki What?! needing a March miracle to get out of last place.
