In March, the actor Luke Perry died of a stroke at age 52. Perry was best known for his roles in "Riverdale" and "Beverly Hills 90210," but he starred in numerous shows and movies as early as the 1980s.
7. Avengers Endgame
Marvel Studios
Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame" hit the box office in late April, ultimately passing James Cameron's "Avatar" as the highest-grossing movie of all time — with a catch. After adjusting for inflation, the record is still held by 1939's "Gone With The Wind."
8. Game of Thrones
HBO
HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones" has become a cultural icon in the past several years. In 2019, the show finished its eighth and final season, which divided many of its fans.
9. iPhone 11
Apple
In September, Apple unveiled its newest phones: the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The new phones showed just how much the iPhone has evolved since 2007.
10. Jussie Smollett

The "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett became a cultural flashpoint after he told the Chicago police two white men had committed a hate crime against him. The Chicago Police Department charged Smollett with filing a false police report, alleging he staged the incident. Ultimately, the case was dropped, with Smollett agreeing to forfeit the $10,000 he had posted for bail.
