How did you spend your holidays in 2020? Well, it looks like many of us spent it streaming our favorite shows and films. Nielsen’s Top 10 data from December 21 – 27 has rolled out. It looks like Disney+ has crept in on the usually Netflix dominated list! Two Disney+ hits get high marks as first and fifth spots.
As shared by Variety: Disney+ Soul got over 1.66 billion minutes of viewing time in the span of two days reaching first place. The Mandalorian, the record-breaking champion of the week prior, descended to fifth place over the holidays, obtaining about 1 billion minutes of viewing time. The win marked the first time that a non-Netflix show landed at No. 1 on Nielsen’s streaming ranker.
Nielsen’s rankings are based on the number of minutes consumers who have access to streaming platforms are viewing during the week.
