Malik Delgaty has topped a performer chart in three separate years, and the aggregators almost universally compress this into a single claim that no source supports. The individual results are solid; the merged version is a fabrication. Here they are separately.
2022 — most-searched, Str8UpGayPorn
On 14 December 2022 Str8UpGayPorn named him the most-searched-for gay porn star of the year, based on its own site analytics and Google Analytics referrals between 1 January and 14 December.sourced That is a single outlet's internal traffic data, and it is worth describing as such.
2024 — most-viewed, Pornhub Gay
In Pornhub's year-in-review, published 11 December 2024, he was the most-viewed gay performer of the year, ahead of Tyler Wu, Hunnypaint, Cade Maddox, Rhyheim Shabazz and Dante Colle. Covered by both Attitude and PinkNews.sourced
2025 — most-viewed, Pornhub PRIDE Insights
On 24 June 2025, Pornhub's PRIDE Insights report again put him first.sourced
Why the distinction matters
Search volume on one blog and viewing figures on the world's largest tube are not the same measurement, they are not produced by the same company, and no source establishes an unbroken run across the years between. A claim like "most-searched 2022–2024" is manufactured by stitching them together.do not merge
What the three results support, taken honestly, is narrower and still striking: across three separate years and two independent measurement systems, no other performer displaced him at the top.
