The Luminate Top 50 (M)

Each week, we publish charts that rank the top 50 film and TV streaming originals by weekly viewership. Our charts include time watched, up/down trends, week-over-week changes and peak rankings for each entry. 

What does (M) mean?

The (M) in chart titles (and the name of the platform) stands for (Modeled). At this time, there is no source for first-party streaming data. Unlike TV networks, streaming platforms do not release daily ratings. Instead, Luminate applies our expertise in data science to the challenge of streaming measurement.

We ingest streaming data from multiple sources and use mathematical modeling to calculate total viewing figures. Final SV(M) streaming ratings are modeled based on ACR panels, information provided by streamers and our own data.

What we chart: Streaming originals 

We built SV(M) to track streaming data and power a brand-new category of charts. Our Top 50 Film and TV charts rank streaming original content: titles identified as "originals" by the streaming platform on which they premiered.

The SV(M) database also includes some library titles (e.g. Seinfeld, Friends) that are not eligible for the streaming charts. 

Explore streaming charts

The Top 50 Movies and Top TV Shows charts display the same key information for each entry: numerical ranking, title, director/showrunner, streaming platform and viewership data.  

Chart weeks

One streaming chart reflects one full week of data. A streaming chart week starts on Friday and ends the following Thursday. Our chart week designation aligns with the theatrical box office week.

See rankings and data

Charts order is determined by total time streamed during the week for each entry. SV(M) includes the rankings as well as the streaming figures. Besides this week’s minutes/hours watched, chart entries include minutes/hours watched for the week prior, % change in viewership and number of views (for movies). 

Badges at left indicate chart position relative to last week:

Since we model our data, we also display confidence levels for each entry. High confidence indicates that SV(M) ingested enough data to model viewership with a greater probability of accuracy. 

Expand chart entries

Click any chart entry (not the title) to see a breakout pane that includes key information, past chart positions and up or down trends.

Select a different chart week from the Time Frame menu in the top menu bar. 

Why can’t I select multiple weeks? 

Charts are weekly; you can only view one chart at a time. To see more than one week of data, go to a Title Dashboard or build a Comparison. 

Export charts

Click  at top right to export a chart as a CSV or Excel. You can only export one chart—that is, one week—at a time. 

Chart exports appear in grid or table format, with ranked entries, topline metadata for each entry (distributor, creator, release date), and viewership in both minutes and hours for the selected chart week, and the previous week. 

What do my export file names mean? 

SV(M) automatically generates file names for exports. They include the chart title and week number. 

Partial/in-progress charts are indicated in export names. For example, a CSV export of the Top 50 Movies chart for Week 44 of 2024 downloaded on Wednesday of that week looks like this:

Luminate Top 50-Movies-W44 2024-Partial Oct 28.csv

“Partial Oct 28” means that the exported chart is for a partial week and includes data up to 10/28.
