OCTOBER 5, 2026
👑 bleacherreport holds the hill · 1 crown change · 1 dethronements · 53.4M engagements
October 5, 2026, on the San Diego Padres front. The crown changed hands 1 time before the day was done. When the last hour closed, bleacherreport stood on top of the hill, having held the summit for 2 of the day's 9 tracked hours.
The summit itself never fell, but the trenches were busy: 1 overtake was logged among the elite ranks as challengers traded positions below the king.
Between them, the 8 tracked armies fired 53.4M engagements across the day. The single hottest hour belonged to espn, who detonated 5.5M engagements in the 01:00 UTC hour alone.
In sheer volume, espn was the loudest army of the day with 60% of tracked engagement, ahead of bleacherreport (21%) and mlb (9%).
This day is still being fought — the record above covers the first 9 hours and will be sealed at midnight UTC. Watch it live →
