The vast majority of news stories are ephemeral things that only have relevance for a month at best. I think expecting this to generate "Top Story" information is too much.

although it is currently not exported to RSS, we keep this kind of click through stats at http://www.newsisfree.com/popular.php3 But, looking at it over the last few weeks, most items there are those from the feeds which were added recently to NewsIsFree and show on the default pages which are created for user... not very significant.
