Top 20 Per Region
We track the top 20 trending TV shows in each region daily, capturing both mainstream hits and regional favorites.
Our all-time score reflects a show's overall trending performance. The formula considers multiple factors:
score = total_days_trending × 10
+ total_days_at_#1 × 100
+ total_days_in_top3 × 50
+ total_days_in_top10 × 25
+ (100 - peak_rank) × 5
+ consecutive_days × 15Total Days Trending
The cumulative number of days a show has appeared on any trending list, across all tracked regions.
Peak Rank
The highest position a show has achieved on any regional trending chart. #1 is the best possible rank.
Consecutive Days
The longest unbroken streak of days a show appeared on trending charts. Resets if the show drops off all charts.
Regional Performance
Shows can trend differently across regions. A K-drama might dominate in Asia while a British show trends more in Europe. We track each region separately.
