Understanding Netflix’s Top 10 Rankings

The weekly top 10 lists showcase the most viewed films and series on Netflix, both in individual countries and globally. The views are calculated by dividing the total hours streamed by the runtime of each title.

Weekly totals are rounded to the nearest 100,000 to accommodate variable internet conditions. Additionally, the total number of weeks a series or movie has remained in the Netflix Top 10 is factored into these rankings. Since the start of 2023, Disney+ has adopted a similar methodology to track viewer engagement.

In November 2021, Netflix introduced a dedicated website to display its weekly charts, featuring both German and global rankings across more than 90 markets. The global charts categorize content as follows: Movie (English), TV (English), Movie (Non-English).
