The Luminate Top 50
Luminate’s streaming charts rank the top 50 streaming movies and top 50 streaming TV shows by weekly viewership.
The streaming chart week runs Friday - Thursday, 12:00am UTC - 11:59pm UTC. Streaming charts for the preceding week are published weekly on Mondays.
Though SV(M) posts next-day daily viewing figures all week, we require a 72-hour window to update titles with preliminary data and finalize chart rankings.
We do not revise final charts after publication. Rankings are “locked” as of Monday mornings.
Preliminary data helps improve our accuracy for titles that air simultaneously on linear and streaming, which can result in incomplete next-day coverage. When this happens, we use additional days of data to differentiate signals and adjust initial figures.
Only streaming originals — TV series and movies identified as “original” by the distributing streaming platform — are eligible for the Luminate Top 50. This includes streaming-first titles and some streaming day-and-date titles (i.e. titles that debut on linear TV and streaming within the same week).
Ex. Stranger Things, Andor, KPop Demon Hunters
Some streaming original films may have a limited theatrical release (such as the Knives Out series or Frankenstein on Netflix). But most first-run theatrical titles do not qualify.

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.

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 or Ranking Report.
Export charts
Open the … menu at top right to download a chart in CSV or Excel format.
Chart exports appear in grid or table format, with ranked entries, metadata for each entry (distributor, creator, release date), and viewership in minutes and hours for the selected chart week and the previous week.

Charts FAQ
When does the SV(M) chart week start and end?
A streaming chart week starts on Friday at 12:00am UTC and ends the following Thursday at 11:59 UTC. This chart week designation aligns with the theatrical box office week.
When are streaming charts published?
Both streaming charts — TV and movies — are published in SV(M) weekly on Mondays. This gives our model sufficient time to adjust and finalize preliminary data after the chart week closes.
