Description
A user requested [via Twitter](https://twitter.com/addshore/status/981129869437304832) that we show an actual post stat, like total views or post rank compared to other posts in the Stats column on `wp-admin/edit.php` rather than just a stats icon as is currently used.
> Personally it would be useful, especially when used in conjunction with other plugins or columns that also provide data on how your post is performing and being interacted with.
It wouldn't matter too much if the data was cached heavily and updated once per day or week.

Research direction
Start at the WordPress wp-admin/edit.php entry point and review the existing Stats column described in the issue. Clarify whether the displayed value should be total views or post rank, determine the acceptable update cadence, and verify that the chosen stat appears for posts on the All Posts dashboard.
