Here you go, this is a list of the most popular chords/tabs on Ultimate Guitar all with over 11,000,000 hits worldwide. Obviously it's a skewed list as it is mainly guitarists, lots of US users but lot's of British songwriter success. Very little rock music but I guess representative of what young musicians are learning over the last 10 years. Very few would make the set list of a covers band but there are a couple of old favourites. I'm feeling old, I had to look some of these songs up :)

Jeff Buckley  Hallelujah

Surprised Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes isn't on the list, I hear it everywhere.

I guess since this is a site where there are more guitarists than bassists and the famous riff is usually played on bass it wasn't going to get to the top. I thought it would be the highest scoring bass riff but the first one I could find was Muse. I trawled through over 500 songs before I found any bass tabs at all.  The next few bass tabs I found were nearly all  for ZZ Top.

Comparing the lists of most-viewed tabs vs chords is interesting:

I think the data for the bass list might be broken... there's a suspicious amount of ZZ Top, Frank Zappa, and other artists towards the end of the alphabet: 😆
