The Big Ten: Netflix is ​​changing the method of measurement

Netflix in a new course in which it changes the method of measuring the popular titles in the service, including Israel. From now on the index will be based on the total number of hours observed in each title and not as before.

Netflix will publish “Top 10 on Netflix“Every week every Tuesday based on hours viewed Monday through Sunday of the previous week for both original and licensed titles. Netflix divides the lists as follows:

• Top 10 Movies in the World (English)
• Top 10 TV Lists (English)
• Top 10 Movies (Not in English)
• 10 TV series (not in English)

Also rankings of over 90 countries Including Israel. The site is now available in English and Spanish. More languages ​​will be launched next year.

Here are the top 10 things about the methodology behind Top10.Netflix.com:

1. The lists are ranked by hours of viewing per title, i.e. the total number of hours subscribers spent watching a season of a series or movie
2. Netflix measures hours viewed during a week, starting on Monday and ending on Sunday with the publication of the lists on Tuesday.
3. Netflix publishes four weekly lists of the top 10 in the world: Movies (English), Television (English), Movies (Non-English) and Television (Non-English). For each list, Netflix displays hours viewed in the same week for each title.
4. Netflix publishes two lists: the top 10, for movies and the top 10 for TV, for over 90 countries (the same countries where the top 10 countries are shown on Netflix itself). These lists are also ranked by viewing hours (although Netflix does not display viewing hours for each state-level title).
5. Each season of a series is measured individually, so maybe it will be possible to see seasons 2 and 3 of Stranger Things on the list.
6. All titles, no matter what the genre, are eligible for lists – series and movies, children and family, Netflix and licensed series.
7. While the site’s launch is on November 16, Netflix’s top 10 lists and the information it will provide about the number of weeks it was titled in the top 10 date to the third quarter of 2021 (as of June 28, 2021).
