Lucifer and Sweet Tooth Top Streaming Charts
The Nielsen ratings service as published its weekly streaming charts and Lucifer is the #1 piece of streaming content for the second week in a row. The Netflix show drummed up over 1.8 billion minutes of viewership against its 83 available episodes, for the week of May 31-June 6 marking a 43% improvement over the previous week. The numbers were enough to make it #1 on the Originals chart, and to also outdo the top draws on the Acquired and Film charts by a wide margin.
Netflix also scored a win in this window with the series debut of Sweet Tooth. The show, based on Jeff Lemire's comic, pulled in 794 million minutes of viewership against 8 episodes in its initial week of release. That made it #2 on the originals chart and #3 across all charts.
Finally Jupiter's Legacy exited the rankings once and for all.
