Storyblocks has analyzed a total of 60 million searches on
its site in 2018 to find the
50 most popular landmarks featured in creative works.
The 50 locations are listed below, but I believe a very high percentage of Storyblocks searches are made by North American companies. That could explain the high percentage of North American locations on the list. It would be interesting is someone in the UK or the EU would do a similar search and determine the 50 most popular locations among their customers.
I suspect that while many of the locations might be the same the order could be quite different and an increasing number of European and Asian locations would show up on the list.
