Dungeon World is currently listed as #24 on the Hottest Selling title list for DriveThruRPG...and that is right now for five year old game. A game that also won Golden Geek RPG of the Year 2012; Indie RPG 2012 Winner: Best Game, Best Support, Best Production; and ENnie Award Winner 2013: Best Rules - Gold Winner
Why is it so popular? It is part of the second wave of the small press Indie game revolution that started in the aughts that focuses on Narrativist games. So...it is part of a trend.
