It’s year in review time at Facebook, and Pope Francis donned the crown as the most-talked-about person or event globally, while Super Bowl XLVII took home the U.S. trophy, according to data released by the social network Monday.

Facebook is also once again allowing users to create their own personal summaries of 2014 by clicking links that appear on their Timelines, which direct them to https://www.facebook.com/yearinreview/(USERNAME).

The social network also shared a host of lists about “the people, moments, and places that mattered most on Facebook in 2013.”
