Thank you! And great point. At first I used the word "important", but I thought importance is personal, so switched to "significant". I guess it also doesn't convey the actual meaning.

I don't like the word "top" because even on the most uneventful day there's going to be something that qualifies as top (because of the lack of competition).

So proper term would probably be "globally significant news" or "news significant to humanity as a whole".
