Bridgerton<\/em> led a heavy-viewing New Year’s week, while Soul<\/em> and The Office<\/em> topped separate movie and acquired-show rankings, respectively, in Nielsen’s first expanded weekly snapshot of U.S. streaming.<\/p>\n

With 2.648 total minutes of streaming from December 28 to January 3, the 8-episode Bridgerton<\/em> solidified its position in the annals of Netflix. The company last month declared the Shonda Rhimes show its most popular original to date.<\/p>\n

Fellow Netflix original Cobra Kai<\/em> reached 2.606 billion minutes to finish second among originals. Pixar’s Soul<\/em>, which was mobilized as a Disney+ title due to Covid-19 theater closures, drew 1.343 billion minutes of viewing, more than double the next-best movie title, Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes<\/em>. The Office<\/em>, which dominated the 2020 chart as the most-watched streaming title, ended its run on Netflix as the most-streamed acquired show. As of January 1, it is exclusively streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n

Nielsen will now offer three separate top-10 lists each week, gauging streaming of original and acquired fare as well as movies. (See the full lists below.) As it has since launching the streaming measurements last summer, the company counts viewing in the U.S. via a TV screen (meaning mobile doesn’t count) and only on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Hulu. The numbers are reported after a significant delay, by arrangement with the participating services.<\/p>\n

In a special addendum to its Christmas-week rankings, Nielsen said last week that Wonder Woman 1984<\/em> on HBO Max outdid Soul<\/em>. Without an agreement yet with WarnerMedia to measure HBO Max on a weekly basis, the service is MIA for now on the expanded Nielsen lists. Ditto for Peacock, whose corporate overseers at NBCUniversal say The Office<\/em> is outpacing its viewing levels on Netflix, though they have not yet provided numbers.<\/p>\n

Soul<\/em> racked up almost 1.7 billion minutes of streaming in its first three days, per Nielsen, so the animated film appeared to lose steam in the week after its debut weekend. But it also appears to have helped stimulate viewing of other titles on Disney+, with library fare like Frozen II<\/em>, and Moana joining 2020 summer release Mulan in the top 10.<\/p>\n

The holiday week also saw some even longer-in-the-tooth movie titles charting, such as The Croods<\/em> (whose sequel hit theaters and PVOD over the holidays), 17 Again<\/em> and Rango<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The acquired-show chart was entirely made up of shows on Netflix, though the lack of Peacock or HBO Max as a source means that Friends and The Office<\/em> were not eligible. Well-established broadcast network titles like Grey’s Anatomy<\/em>, NCIS<\/em> and The Blacklist<\/em> fill most of the top 10 spots, but one fresher entrant is Imposters<\/em>, which ran for two seasons on Bravo before being canceled in 2018.<\/p>\n

Below are the three charts, with the number of episodes for series as well as total minutes of viewing. All titles are Netflix unless otherwise noted.<\/p>\n
