Every Tuesday, the company publishes its weekly "Top 10 on Netflix" based on the number of hours viewed of both original and licenced programmes from Monday through Sunday of the previous week. The lists are divided into top 10 charts for English-language movies, English-language TV shows, foreign-language movies, and foreign-language TV shows.
The website also includes a list of the shows with the highest viewing hours within the first 28 days of release, as well as a ranking of the most watched shows of all time. If a new season's episodes are released in two parts on different schedules, Netflix counts the watch time of the episodes for the first 28 days of the first quantity before counting the watch time of the episodes for the first 28 days of the second instalment.
