The Gulf of Mexico oil spill beat the previous record holder by more than 60 million gallons of oil. The world's second largest spill was the Ixtoc I Oil Well in 1979 which also took place in the Gulf of Mexico. Take a look at this list of the 15 largest oil spills.

Like the sources you cite, you are mixing “oil spills,” where oil is spilled in transit, and blowouts/gushers, where oil is released under its own natural pressure. In fact some of your sources seem to think that only a ship can create an “oil spill.” The Lakeview gusher of 1910-11 is still the greatest blowout, exceeding last year’s BP blowout by several times. And neither was an “oil spill” except in the loosest sense.
