ComScore Networks published a list of top blogs in Q1 2005 by unique audience. FreeRepublic, DrudgeReport, FleshBot, Gawker and Fark all got more than 1 mln unique visitors in Q1 2005.
Google has a blog? who knew? How do I get there to check it out? ( I lead such a sheltered weblife..)

Here is where that report originally came from. Interesting to note the error in which FR comes in 4th but is actually 3rd in number of hits. Drudge runs his number up with the auto refresh. The evidence of that is the unique visitor disparity.
Amazing that DU is not even on the list but LGF is - unless they don't rank DU as a blog. They put FR in the political news blog like dailykos.
The chart is at about the middle on page 6.
