Replying without the public GLAM list, this is a 'behind the scenes' observation...
Though it is great that more data about downloads are available, examining the Wikimedia Commons downloads of video, audio and images, is actually disheartening for me personally as someone who has worked for years uploading media from GLAM archives. The most popular videos and audios are almost all about graphic sex, which I guess tell us what we already know about what is the most popular types of media that the public wants to consume. Sadly GLAM photographic archives and lovely upload projects like the XenoCanto birdsongs, do not make it to the first couple of pages of results. As for images, the most used are related to nationalism, as national flags are the most heavily used images, presumably because of their mass usage in templates and auto-created infoboxes on articles. So, I guess the learning point, is that we would need to re-frame what this data means for GLAM content creators and donors rather than judging things like "impact" or "importance to open knowledge" could ever be judged by being high or low by this metric.
