Streaming titles had a somewhat down week in late April, with no title on Nielsen’s top 10 charts reaching the billion-minute mark in viewing time. The polar opposites that are Bluey and The Boys got the closest.
Bluey notched 889 million viewing minutes on Disney+ for the week of April 20-26, the best weekly total for the kids’ favorite since late January. It finished No. 1 overall, just ahead of The Boys at 882 million minutes on Prime Video. The gleefully violent superhero show led the original series top 10, although it declined slightly from the previous week.
Running Point was the top series debut of the week; the Netflix comedy had 772 million minutes of viewing for the week of its season two debut. That was down, however, from about 1.05 billion minutes for its series premiere week last year. Also making their first appearances on the charts this year were Netflix’s thriller Unchosen (580 million minutes), competition show Million Dollar Secret (413 million) and docuseries Hulk Hogan: Real American (353 million).
Euphoria improved in the week after its inaugural appearance in the streaming rankings, growing to 658 million minutes on HBO Max (vs. 556 million a week earlier). Netflix’s Beef also went up — it rose by about 34 percent to 665 million minutes.
Apex, starring Charlize Theron, led the movie chart and ranked third overall with 847 million minutes of watch time. The Devil Wears Prada (173 million minutes on HBO Max and Hulu) also made the top 10 a week before the theatrical release of its sequel.
Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences. The top streaming titles for April 20-26, 2026, are below.
