In the USA, ORD usually has more flights than ATL, but it's very close on a day to day basis.
Here are top 15 US Airports in terms of movements, based on data from this week. Note: Most of the airports after DFW are pretty close in number of movements, so vary slightly from day to day, week to week.
1 ORD CHICAGO OHARE INTNL,CHICAGO
2 ATL THE WILLIAM B HARTSFIELD ATLANTA INTL,ATLANTA
3 DFW DALLAS/FORT WORTH INTERNATIONAL,
4 DEN DENVER INTL,DENVER

That is commercial airports, as I can assure you VNY is up near the top overall

Quoting JFKLGANYC (Reply 6): Um, are we talking movements or passengers??
The initial question: where can I find a ranking of the world's busiest airports (passengers/aircraft movements)
Quoting N1120A (Reply 7): That is commercial airports, as I can assure you VNY is up near the top overall
Nowhere close! The busiest 'non-airline' airport in the world is Teterboro, closely followed by White Plains (HPN) and Dulles IAD, but the number of movements are a fraction of ATL and ORD. Around 600/day as opposed to 2500/day.

Quoting NASOCEANA (Reply 5): It will surely be ORD from now on as delta, has filed for CH.11 protection, and will cut flights at ATL as they already have at CVG.
Don't look for DL to cut many flights from ATL, CVG will take most. Even if DL cut 100 daily mainline flights at ATL, which they won't, it would still be overwhelmingly the busiest airport in the world. That's only gonna change if DL folds, which is a long way away hopefully.

Quoting Tornado82 (Reply 11): I don't think ATL's passenger count lead on ORD is that substantial, but I'm willing to be called wrong if someone has the cold, hard facts.

Actually, ATL has surpassed ORD not only on passenger numbers but also the number of a/c movements.

Well...like I said, I have real numbers here and it's a wash, but ORD usually ahead by a few. Not really worth arguing that one is more than the other .... roughly equal depending on day of week etc.
Here is last 24hrs actual arrivals:
1298 ORD
1194 ATL

Airports participating in the ACI Annual Traffic Statistics Collection.
Total Movements: landing and take off of an aircraft.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And for historical amusement, non-commercial Opa-locka Airport (OPF) held the #1 ranking in movements nationwide (yes, busier than ORD at the time) for one or two years in the early 70's due to Vietnam Era GI bill flight training activities at several flight schools on the field.

It's ACI's language, not mine. If I were to guess, it would really be landings per year because generally takeoffs are the same amount or very close to it. I know they say "and" but it's misleading in that one could think that X airport has 1000 ops and 500 of those would be landings and 500 would be takeoffs, and I don't think that's the case.
I could be wrong but I believe touch and goes are counted as one operation, just like a pax arrival and then departure hours later.
