“Bluey,” the Australian animated preschool series that streams on Disney+, appears on Nielsen’s streaming rankings most weeks. But during the July 10-16 viewing window, the series had its best showing yet, becoming the second most-streamed title of the week.
“Bluey” not only crossed one billion minutes watched for the first time, it clocked 1.4 billion minutes, trailing only behind “Suits,” which had its fourth week in a row at the top of the chart thanks to its recent Netflix debut. The legal drama, which concluded on the USA Network in 2019, was watched for 3.7 billion minutes — breaking its own record for most-watched acquired title for the third time.
“The Lincoln Lawyer” took third place after charting at No. 2 the week before, when its second season debuted. From July 10-16, the Netflix legal drama brought in just under 1.3 billion viewing minutes. It was followed by “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” with 1.1 billion minutes watched. The last two episodes of the series’ fourth and final season dropped on Amazon Prime Video during this viewing window.
Fifth place went to the NFL docuseries “Quarterback,” which was released on July 12 and was watched for 853 million minutes in its first five days of availability. Closely behind with 840 million minutes watched was “The Out-Laws,” the Netflix movie that took 10th place when it debuted the week before.
The No. 7 and 8 positions went to Nielsen regulars: “NCIS” with 828 million minutes watched and “Grey’s Anatomy” with 802 million. Animated preschool series “Cocomelon” was the last chart regular for this viewing window, taking tenth place with 648 million minutes watched after a few weeks of not making the list.
In the second full week of availability of its third season, “The Witcher” fell from No. 3 with 1.2 billion minutes watched to No. 9 with 648 million minutes watched.
“The Bear” fell off of the overall streaming chart in the third full week of availability of its second season, but remained on the streaming originals chart at No. 6 with 524 million minutes watched. Just ahead of it was “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Amazon Prime Video’s teen drama series that released its Season 2 finale during this viewing window.
