Listing page of popular topics without using widget

Hi

I’d like to build a listing page of articles ordered by popularity, and with the layout HTML I have (different images sizes for the first post, embedded ads etc) it’s too complex to handle using the widget.

Can I just query the wp_popularpostsdata / wp_popularpostssummary tables in the database to get the post IDs?

Cheers
