Netflix’s Biggest Hits: A Look at the Top 10 Rankings as of July 2023
Over the years, Netflix has witnessed some massive hits, but quantifying their success has always posed a challenge for observers. Here’s an exclusive glimpse into the biggest hits ever released on Netflix, as of July 2023.
About Netflix
Netflix is an American subscription video-on-demand over-the-top streaming service owned and operated by Netflix, Inc. The service primarily distributes films and television series produced by the media company of the same name from various genres, and it is available internationally in multiple languages.
Netflix was launched on January 16, 2007, nearly a decade after Netflix, Inc. began its DVD-by-mail service. With 238.39 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries, it is the most-subscribed video-on-demand streaming service.
Every Tuesday, Netflix unveils four global Top 10 lists, categorizing films and TV shows into Film (English), TV (English), Film (Non-English), and TV (Non-English). These lists rank titles based on ‘views’ received from Monday to Sunday of the previous week.
To calculate views for a title, the streaming giant considers the total hours viewed divided by the total runtime, with values rounded to 100,000. This unique approach helps gauge the popularity of each title based on actual viewing time.
It’s noteworthy that Netflix assesses each season of a series and each film independently, which means you might spot both seasons 2 and 3 of “Stranger Things” in the Top 10. Additionally, since titles may fluctuate in and out of the Top 10, Netflix also provides insight into the total number of weeks a season of a series or film has spent on the list.
For a comprehensive understanding of global viewing trends, Netflix also shares Top 10 lists for nearly 100 countries and territories, corresponding to the locations where Top 10 rows are featured on the platform. These country lists are ranked by views, enabling users to explore what’s trending in various regions across the world.
