Prime Video Begins Weekly Global Top‑10 Lists for Originals

The new weekly charts highlight worldwide and non‑English leaders while excluding minutes‑watched figures that would let viewers compare performance directly.

Overview

  • Prime published its inaugural worldwide top‑10 lists for original films and series covering May 25–31, placing Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War as the top film and Off Campus as the top series.
  • The rollout includes separate charts that surface non‑English leaders, with the Indian film System and Germany’s LOL: Last One Laughing cited among the top international titles.
  • Prime’s rankings count views of every available episode toward a series’ total, a methodological choice similar to Nielsen’s approach for U.S. streaming charts.
  • The company will issue the lists weekly and keep them distinct from the in‑app, localized charts that show short‑term, country‑specific popularity.
  • By publishing ranks but not minutes‑watched or run‑time‑normalized metrics, Prime increases public visibility into hits while limiting direct apples‑to‑apples comparisons with competitors such as Netflix.
