What is the most famous sequence? The most basic (natural numbers?)? The most simple (0,0,0, ... or 1,1,1, ...?)? The most versatile (Catalan numbers?)?

I would be curious to know your opinion.

I tried to check the number of Google hits for some sequence numbers. Here is what I've got:
A000040 (prime numbers) 68,800
A000045 (Fibonacci)     66,000
A000108 (Catalan)       62,500
A000027 (natural)       47,500

Can someone write a program to find top ten? What is the most referenced sequence inside Encyclopedia? Can we find the most hits outside Encyclopedia? Is it easy to do?
