“Bluey” Tops Nielsen Streaming Chart Over The Holidays
Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from December 23rd, 2024, to January 5th 2025. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.
With this week’s data covering the Christmas and New Year period, the viewership had a drastic shift as audiences moved away from holiday themed movies such as “Home Alone” or “Elf”, which had been doing well in the weeks building up to Christmas.
Neither Disney+ nor Hulu have any major original show in the top ten originals. “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” once again failed to get enough viewers to make the list. Netflix was able to take the lion’s share of the original chart, with the new season of “Squid Game” doing incredible numbers.
Disney continues to dominate the acquired and overall charts, with Disney’s biggest hits ” “Grey’s Anatomy”, Bob’s Burgers”, “Bluey”, “Lost” and “Family Guy”, making up the majority of these charts for Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
