    Try using this WP_Query or get_posts: 

    <?php
$popularpost  = new WP_Query( array(
    'cat'=> 2,
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'meta_key' => 'post_views_count',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    'order' => 'DESC'
) );

if ($popularpost->have_posts()) {
    while ($popularpost->have_posts()) {
        $popularpost->the_post(); ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
        <?php
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
?>
