The Tumblr archive, by year
Tumblr shows you a tag's recent feed and nothing else — there is no way on tumblr.com to see what was most reblogged in a given year. These are 7,988 posts we measured across 16 years, ranked by notes.

Notes are Tumblr's own engagement number: likes, reblogs and replies added together. The API does not break them apart, so one figure is all anyone can honestly report — and it is the figure Tumblr itself ranks by.
The older a year, the longer its posts have had to accumulate notes. A 2014 post has had a decade; a post from this year has had months. Compare within a year, not across them.
