    At sixth place was the death of Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park, generated more than eight million posts on Facebook that day.
     
    Yogi Adityanath, at eighth spot, generated a lot of conversation on the social media platform when he was appointed the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
