Comment: "I went with this. I think it works well, is snappy, and can be largely understood even by non-native speakers of English."

Clickbait
Just so you have another option....however I think clickbait is often used in a negative way (implies sensationalist content rather than just popular content) so it doesn't seem to fit your context.
The source tem is neutral or positive.
The source tem is neutral or positive.
Example sentence:
The definition of click bait is an website article with a subject that will cause controversy, used to get readers to click through on the Internet to that website.

top clicks
Short, sweet and popular. If you search <"top clicks" news> or '<"top clicks Google"> you get over a million hits. I'm pretty sure that a click magnet is content that is specifically created to sell or draw attention, while your context is simply the most-clicked stories.
