In my top 10, I have #Snowden, Cuba, Russia, Hong Kong, and Moscow. So for me Snowden is dominating as he currently has half of the trends. People are a little too quick to jump on the conspiracy theory bandwagon.

To be fair to the OP, he asked a question whether it is trending or not.

  "PROOF SNOWDEN SHOULD BE TRENDING"

  No, the question is "Is Snowden not being allowed to trend on Twitter"? Leading question. Also, within the post itself "Why is Snowden not trending" (grammar corrected by me) and the title "Proof Snowden should be trending" in all caps no less. It's pretty clear the idea is to imply there's a conspiracy. Everything is a conspiracy.

Strangely, it doesn't appear in the US trend list, nor in the worldwide one.
