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. Streamers such as Netflix, Amazon and Disney Plus do not release their own detailed stats and these streaming measurements are based on Nielsen estimates.
