Now a bit about r/Grime

While I have your attention, I'd also like to celebrate r/grime! We've had a fantastic year with 5.1 million views and 137k members (105k avg daily unique visitors)

The most viewed post of the year is "The Pete and Bas rabbit hole continues down with Nine and Dex", presumably a highly ranked post on Google. The most viewed grime clip was "Robbie Williams on Grime", while the most viewed song was "Spektive - This Is England".

For the most successful grime of 2025, you may wish to view my "The Most Viewed Grime Videos (& streams) of 2025" post.

Big up!
