Tumblr's Year in Review is an annual series of posts listing the most popular fandoms of Tumblr by type.

About

Every year, the team behind Fandometrics pores over enough data to block a proverbial Suez Canal. We analyze all of the tags, searches, posts, and every like and reblog on this blue hellsite (affectionate), categorizing the most popular stuff on Tumblr so we can give the gift of Year in Review in December.

Tumblr’s Year in Review contains a full 365 days’ worth of data, but it runs from October 21, 2020, to October 20, 2021. Supernatural fans, we know you were disappointed with Destiel going canon being absent from last year’s Year in Review. So you’re finally going to see November 5, 2020, represented. This is your payout.

Like you, Year in Review has grown this past year. Matured. A glow up, if you will. You might notice some changes that reflect that, like a more inclusive Celebs list to replace the old Actors and Actresses lists. Or all TV shows (previously live-action, animated, and reality) under one list header for the first time. And an extra special, extra personal little somethin’ that will remain a surprise until December 7…👀

Keep your eyes peeled to this space all month long, Tumblr. The lists are all live now (go, go, go!), but we’ve got all sorts of goodies coming your way. Now, onto the good stuff.

Top 21 of 2021

Well, here it is. 52 weeks of data, scrunched and sorted, all leading to this: The Dream SMP Minecraft Server and its content creators make up a full 33.333333% of this year’s Top Things. This should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been reading our weekly Fandometrics lists. Given that the dataset runs from October 21, 2020, to October 20, 2021, it’s also no surprise that Supernatural and Destiel round out the top three. Critical Role’s second campaign ended in June, and while fans were sad to see that chapter of the Mighty Nein’s adventure end, they took solace in Exandria Unlimited’s summer run. Genshin Impact’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down as new players discover the joy (and heartbreak) of wishing. Loki gave fans more versions of the character than we had ever dared to hope for, along with very intense feelings about jet skis. Baby Yoda and his dad stole the galaxy’s heart, the Boku no Hero Academia manga is in its final act, a major ship in The Owl House went canon, and we learned that Bucky Barnes sleeps on the floor. And of course, our resident Artists on Tumblr have diligently documented all of the above with their incredible arts. This is Tumblr’s Year In Review.
