MAAN Infoweb Solutions, one of the Drupal core developers, has used the statistics available on Drupal.org to make a list of the most popular Drupal 7 modules. This is different from the public stats on Drupal.org module pages, which show the popularity of modules across all versions.
With its uniqueness and flexibility, Drupal has always been one of the top CMS. Besides the cores, the backbone of the Drupal system, what makes this CMS special is its large collection of modules.

“Chaos tools (or CTools) as it's often known, is a set of APIs
that assist other modules. In this top 20 list alone, CTools is used
by Views, Views Slideshow, Webform. It's also required by
popular layout modules such as Panels and Display Suite.

“Views the most popular module
when you count all Drupal versions. Why? Because Views is the way to organize content in Drupal. It's so essential to so
many sites that it will be part of the Drupal 8 core.

“Token allows you to create re-
usable patterns across your site. For example, the Pathauto
module (#5 in this list) uses Token to create URL patterns.

“Libraries API is similar to Chaos Tools in that it is a foundational module. It's an
essential part of the WYSIWYG and Colorbox module and powers several Views
Slideshow features.
Libraries API works to connect Drupal to external scripts so if a module asks you to install Libraries API you'll probably need to download and install a 3rd party script also.

“Pathauto, together with the core Path
module, is the difference between having URLs like this /?q=node/3 or this /node/3 on
your Drupal site, and having URLs like this /about-us/. Pathauto combines with Token (#3 in this list) to allow to create
default patterns for your URLs.

“Entity API is similar to Chaos Tools (#1) and Libraries API (#4) in that you'll never use it directly. Entity API provides a unified way to deal with entities. What are entities?
This post explains. Entity API is an essential part of the Rules, Features and Search API
modules amongst others.

“The normal Drupal 7 toolbar can require several clicks to get to parts of the admin area. As a
result, many developers find the Administration Menu module to
be a great help because they can jump to any administrative
task much more quickly. 26

“The Date module allows you to add Date fields to your Drupal content. It also has an API so that other modules can more
easily handle the complexity of dates (timezones etc)

“IMCE is a great module that will give
you file management capabilities while editing your articles in Drupal 7. You can add various WYSIWYG editors to Drupal to allow you to have advanced editing capabilities. Among these are
TInyMCE, CKEditor, BUEditor and more. However, while you get a great toolbar, these plugins don't natively allow you
to search your file system to find a picture to insert in your page.

“WYSIWYG fits alongside Chaos Tools, Libraries API and Entity API. By itself, WYSIWYG doesn't do anything but it allows Drupal to connect to external
text editors such as CKEditor and TinyMCE.

“The Google Analytics module does allow you to add the basic tracking
code, but it's the most popular analytics option because it also provides a wide range of more
advanced settings:

“One thing that many people notice
when they use Drupal for the first time is that there's no WYSIWYG editor. CKEditor is one solution. CKEditor
provides a WYSIWYG editor and also integrates with modules to improve
Drupal's image, file and link handling.

“It's not easy for the Drupal core and all the contributed modules to standardize
on one version of jQuery. If your site needs a more recent (or even an older)
version of jQuery, this module can provide it for you.
