You know it, you love it: It’s Tumblr’s 2018 Year in Review.
We’re ready to say goodbye to this year the only way we know how: by celebrating what you love the most. Tumblr’s Year in Review is about showcasing what makes this place so damned special: your posts, your interests, your passions. The Tumblr community is exceptional. It can be intense and fast-paced, but also so welcoming to new conversations and new people. You’re constantly evolving, and keeping this platform the best place to talk about what genuinely excites real people.
After reviewing literal tens of thousands of lines of data, we sorted the most popular stuff into 23 lists with our very own Fandometrics rating system—measuring searches, original posts, reblogs, and likes to rank your enthusiasm and love. Your K-pop biases? We found ‘em. The games that kept you up way too late? We ranked those, too. Your ships? You can bet we cataloged the top 100 ships—you’re bound to find your OTP in there.
We’ll release a few lists every day over the next three days. Why rush a good thing? Let’s savor it. Some lists are old favorites, like top celebrities or favorite books. Others are brand new babies that had to be created to reflect what you posted about all year long, like Zodiac signs and Hogwarts Houses. Today, however, we’re giving you a little scoop on a great, big thing: the top 10 things on all of Tumblr.
If you’ve been following along with Fandometrics every week, the list shouldn’t be too surprising. There’s a live streaming D&D web series that kicked off its second campaign in January, a film that left us all not feeling so good, a K-pop group that had one hell of a year by racking up awards, breaking chart records, and appearing on the cover of TIME magazine, and more. It’s the most well-rounded list, representing so many corners of fandom and community. It’s you!
