Chinese! specifically Mandarin.. there's over a billion people in the world who speak mandarin as their native language. that's over twice as many as English which is the second most spoken language. Hindi is a close third behind English and Spanish is fourth.

Popular as in the most people speak it, or popular as in the most people want to learn it?
As others have said, Mandarin Chinese is the most common spoken language.

1/4 the people on Earth or more are Chinese. The official language of both the Republic and the People's Republic is Mandarin, a northern dialect.
