Netflix transitioned from measuring its biggest hits based on the number of accounts starting a show/movie to hours watched of the title since late 2021.

Every Tuesday, Netflix provides stats on 40 titles in four separate categories (film and tv in English and non-English) on top.netflix.com based on hours watched globally.

The all-time list is determined by the hours watched for each title during its first 28 days. Some titles release in different countries on different dates or episodes released weekly rather at once, the 28 days data are gathered from every title's premiere date in each region.
