As the year comes to a close, Industrial Distribution takes a look back at the most popular items we posted during the year between news items, blogs and articles. ID articles — whether staff-written or submitted — tend to be longer form than blogs and from more of a third-person view. Our annual Big 50 List was No. 1 as expected, while readers had big interest in the topics of millennials and sales management.

Here are the top 10 articles posted on ID during 2016:

There were actually a number of articles posted prior to 2016 that would have made this top 10 list, but I wanted it to reflect only items posted during 2016.
