Disney+ launches Top 10 list


Disney+ launches the Top 10 Today list which will feature the streaming service’s most popular movies and TV series.

Disney+. Top 10

You may notice a change to your Disney+ home screen as the streaming service is rolling out a Top 10 Today feature. It will showcase “what is popular on the service in each country or territory on any given day, while driving engagement and discovery of new titles.” It will feature both movies and TV series.

Disney+, Top 10

As for how the titles will be determined, the Disney+ press release states: “Top 10 Today will be reflective of Disney+’s on-demand catalog – factoring in both the content available to you based on your subscription (like Hulu on Disney+ for Bundle subscribers) and settings based on your profile (like content ratings). On any given day, the set will feature 10 different series and/or films that are currently popular on Disney+ in your country or territory. For series, engagement is reflected at the episode level, which comes in handy when you need help identifying when new episodes have been released.

The Disney+ Top 10 Today feature will take several factors into account, “including total views at the episode and movie level within a day and the growing popularity of new titles released during that time frame.” If you’re a bundle subscriber, your Top 10 Today banner will include all content available to you based on your subscription plan. Depending on our profile settings, including content rating level, the Top 10 Today list may be different for each individual profile. It also won’t be available on Junior Mode profiles, at least for now.

The streaming service hopes this will increase engagement among its subscribers. Netflix launched its own Top 10 list feature in 2020 and now publishes it on a dedicated website.

We can probably predict what the Disney+ Top 10 Today list will include in just two weeks. It was announced today that Deadpool & Wolverine, one of the most popular films of the year, will be available to stream on Disney+ on November 12th. The sequel has grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, and it is sure to be a big hit when it finally lands on Disney+.
