Dead Boy Detectives Makes Nielsen Top 10 Chart Debut, While Fallout Sets a Third Kind of Record
Fallout — which in previous Nielsen’s U.S. streaming rankings racked up the most minutes viewed for a Prime Video title, then became the first series outside of the Netflix platform to rack up 2 billion minutes viewed in consecutive weeks — this week became the first Prime Video series to top the Overall Top 10 chart three times in a row.
Fallout thus also threepeated at No. 1 on Nielsen’s streaming originals chart for the week of April 22, with 1.5 billion minutes viewed across its eight-episode binge drop. It was (distantly) followed by Netflix’s Baby Reindeer (915 million minutes viewed/seven episodes), the chart debut of Max’s Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives (633 million minutes/eight episodes), Hulu’s Shōgun (which surged 45% with the release of its finale to deliver a weekly high of 608 million miniutes viewed), and Netflix’s The Circle (443 million minutes/72 episodes).
What’s New on Streaming in May
Rounding out the Top 10 streaming originals for the week of April 22 were Paramount+’s Knuckles (whose audience was one-third kids age 2-11), Netflix’s Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, Paramount+’s Star Trek: Discovery, Netflix’s Bridgerton (ahead of the series’ Season 3A release), and Prime Video’s THEM: The Scare (whose audience was 59% Black viewers, Nielsen notes).
Lastly, with the Starz streaming service now being measured by Nielsen, Black Sails landed at No. 8 on the Acquired series chart, with 629 million minutes viewed for its 38 episodes (which also stream on Netflix).
