For the first time ever, every streaming title in Nielsen’s weekly top 10 ranking pulled in over 1 billion minutes viewed.
Per Nielsen, the week of July 1-7 recorded over 313 billion viewing minutes across streaming platforms. That is the highest level of streaming consumption ever in a single week since Nielsen began putting out its top 10 list in 2020.

July 7 was also the fourth-highest daily level of streaming viewership ever recorded by Nielsen. The only individual days to exceed it were: January 13, 2024—the most-streamed day on record—which included the NFL Wild Card playoff game on Peacock; and February 17 and 18, which was the post-Super Bowl weekend.
Leading the overall chart was the Netflix film “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” starring Eddie Murphy, which pulled in a staggering 2.05 billion minutes viewed. Its nearest competition was “Suits,” which returned to the top of the chart with 1.5 billion minutes. “House of the Dragon” was next with 1.3 billion, followed by “Your Honor” (1.23 billion), “The Bear” (1.21 billion), “Dexter” (1.2 billion), “The Boys” (1.13 billion), “Bluey” (1.09 billion), “A Family Affair” (1.05 billion), and “Grey’s Anatomy” (1.02 billion).
All the titles were no doubt aided by the fact that the week in question coincided with the July 4th holiday, meaning more people were at home and therefore had more time to binge.
