Yep, Tumblr is getting very popular. Though it's a little bit apples and oranges because Tumblr is a social network and WordPress is a publishing platform.
I like to show <a href="http://www.google.com/trends?q=wordpress%2C+%22movable+type%22&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0" rel="nofollow">this one because it uncannily marks the crossover point as being in mid-2004, when there was the mass exodus to WordPress.
i think this also interesting: (add tumblr to the mix)

How about adding Posterous to your mix?
A,B are news events, you can see them if you click though to Google Trends.
Posterous gets dwarfed:
