Methodology

We collect data from Netflix Tudum (tudum.com/top10), Netflix's official transparency site that publishes weekly global top 10 lists.

Collection happens weekly using Playwright browser automation to ensure accurate data extraction from dynamically rendered pages.

Netflix publishes 4 separate top 10 lists. We merge them into a single Unified Global Top 20 ranked purely by hours viewed.

// 1. Fetch all 4 categories
const allContent = [
  ...moviesEnglish,
  ...moviesNonEnglish,
  ...showsEnglish,
  ...showsNonEnglish
];

// 2. Sort by hours viewed (not Netflix "Views")
const unified = allContent.sort(
  (a, b) => b.hoursViewed - a.hoursViewed
);

// 3. Assign new unified rank
unified.forEach((item, i) => {
  item.unifiedRank = i + 1;
});

We automatically identify Korean content using a multi-layer detection system:
