New Netflix feature provides more clarity on top rankings
Netflix is coming with a feature that provides a clearer view of the top 10 rankings. And that’s very handy, because then you know what to watch!
That’s so handy, because you’ll know how big that blockbuster really is. Netflix’s definition of a successful show was sometimes unclear. The company comes up with a solution that is more transparent. The streaming service has launched a “Top 10 on Netflix” website that showcases the service’s hit movies and TV shows. Both English and non-English.

You’ll see both global and country-specific data, including total viewing hours and weeks in the chart. You’ll also find all-time statistics and the list of countries where a particular title ranks high. Netflix even lets you download lists in Excel or TSV format if you’re looking for raw data. Whether many people will do that, that is the question.
Anyway, the first results don’t offer too many surprises. The unprecedentedly popular film Red Notice was by far the most popular film in the world based on time watched. This with 148.7 million viewing hours in the first week. Yara was the most viewed non-English title with nearly 18 million views. The final season of Narcos: Mexico topped the UK TV list after two weeks with approximately 50.3 million hours, and you won’t be surprised to learn that Squid Game dominated non-English TV with 42.8 million hours and nine weeks in the top 10.

It is, of course, a bit shady. For example, you may know which shows are getting the most watch time, but you’re not exactly sure what it takes to get a renewal or sequel. Nevertheless, the possible effects have increased. Visitors can better see whether the viewership of a title really matches the hype, or which countries are driving demand.
