What is the most popular password?

Following the announcement of an attack at RockYou.com whereby a hacker managed to obtain all the account details of 32M users, the security companies have had fun analyzing the data. It appears that the hacker only shared the actual passwords, not the accompanying account information, but that was probably just to keep the useful stuff to themselves. There was a website featuring all the passwords, but this has now been taken off-line.

Yeah I had couple of those passwords. from 123456789 to 987654321 and stuff like that.
People don't seem to care about their accounts or they don't know what to use.
