Netflix Just Released First Ever Top 10 Charts Of Their Most Viewed Movies and Shows

Netflix is making good on its promise to provide greater “transparency about what people are watching.” On Thursday, Netflix revealed the top 10 most-watched titles in the U.K. during the month of April, a list led by nature docu-series Our Planet, Noah Centineo’s The Perfect Date, and drama The Highwaymen. Netflix’s UK & Ireland Twitter account went on to break down April’s top titles by category, including film, series, non-English language shows, and more. The account explained it will begin releasing weekly top 10 lists next Wednesday and added that some U.K. users will “see these lists on Netflix starting next week.”

“We want to help you find as much ~great stuff~ to watch on Netflix as possible. So here’s a look at the top ten most-watched shows and films in the UK in April,” Netflix’s UK & Ireland account tweeted Thursday morning. In a thread that followed, the account tweeted out various top 10 lists and revealed how they analyzed the data. “To compile these lists we look at the most-watched individual season of a show, film or special (regardless of when it launched). ‘Watched’ means members finished at least 70% of one episode,” said Netflix (this is consistent with what the company has said about counting statistics for other titles, including You).

The account added that they plan to share updated “most watched lists” every week, but they may change how that information is presented to users. “It’s a test as we want to make sure this information is useful to you,” said Netflix UK & Ireland. “So we may tweak it in the weeks ahead. eg. we’re not including kids right now. And if people don’t find it useful we’ll stop.” Beginning next week, some users may also “see these lists on Netflix,” but the streaming giant did not specify exactly what that will look like.

Here are Netflix’s top 10 lists in the U.K. for April 2019. Keep in mind that due to international distribution agreements, shows like Riverdale and movies such as The Spy Who Dumped Me are often available to stream earlier in markets outside the United States.
