I think you could use the `topic_views` table to grab a count of the latest views for a topic, and group/sum that by category? The `topic_views` table counts one new view a day though, rather than ‘1-per-8-hours’ so it may give a smaller figure than you may be expecting when compared to the `topics.views` number.
