Nielsen: Netflix’s ‘You’ Tops Weekly (Oct. 31) Streaming Chart, Despite Shedding 42% Viewing Time

The Netflix original show “You” again led all series and movies streamed across U.S. household televisions for the week ended Oct. 31, according to new data from Nielsen. Starring Penn Badgley as a dangerously charming obsessive young man, who goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he fixates on, “You” generated more than 1.5 billion minutes streamed across 30 episodes. That was down 42% from almost 2.8 billion minutes streamed in the week ended Oct. 24.

Regardless, the three-season series held off Netflix’s surging “Locke & Key” with 1.06 billion minutes, as well as enduring South Korean social phenomenon “Squid Game” with 1.02 billion minutes.

The Disney+ movie Hocus Pocus topped all streamed movies with 471 million minutes, while licensed children’s series “Cocomelon” led all acquired shows with 807 million minutes across 15 episodes.

“‘Cocomelon’ is really interesting, because it splits viewing between ages 2-11 and 18-35 across multicultural lines,” Brian Fuhrer, SVP of product strategy, said on a podcast.

Fuhrer said the audience breakdown, which included 40% Hispanic and 25% black, mirrored the viewing audience for Netflix’s “Maya and the Three,” which tracked 481 million minutes across nine episodes.

DC Universe Tops Digital Originals Chart with ‘Titans,’ ‘Young Justice’

Two DC Universal series captured the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on the digital originals chart the week ended Jan. 19, according to Parrot Analytics.

“Titans” topped the chart despite a minor decline in demand, while “Young Justice” rose to No. 2 from No. 4 with a 6% gain in Demand Expressions, a proprietary metric used by Parrot Analytics to measure global demand for TV content. The metric draws from a wide variety of data sources, including video streaming, social media activity, photo sharing, blogging, commenting on fan and critic rating platforms, and downloading and streaming via peer-to-peer protocols and file sharing sites.

Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” the prior week’s top digital original, slipped to No. 3 after an 18.6% drop in demand.

Fueled by an 18% increase in demand, Netflix’s modern thriller “You” rose to No. 4 from No. 8 the prior week. The show was singled out as a success by Netflix in its latest quarterly earnings report, triggering numerous media reports – including a story in the Washington Post with the headline, “’You’ was ignored on Lifetime. Then it blew up on Netflix.”

“You” launched last September on the linear Lifetime network. In December it was announced that “You” would move to Netflix as a “Netflix Original,” ahead of the premiere Season 2.

Rounding out the top five on the digital originals chart was CBS All Access‘s “Star Trek: Discovery,” which during the week that ended Jan. 19 attracted a daily average of 24.8 million Demand Expressions, 26.2% more than in the prior week.

The biggest gainer on a percentage basis was “Marvel’s The Punisher,” which returned to the top 10, at No. 8 (from No. 15 the previous week) with a 29.2% spike in demand.
