Questions about the chart
- How is the chart ranked?
- By the demand index. The most watched title of the month is 100 and every other title is scaled to it. Downloads and streaming are ranked separately and never added together.
- Why is an older film still in the top ten?
- A title stays as long as people keep watching it. A new service window, an awards run or a sequel trailer all push older titles back up.
- How often does it update?
- Once a month, on the first working day, for the month just ended. The platform updates every day.
- Can I get the full chart?
- The platform ranks the top 100, by market and by week, with four years of history. Get in touch and we will show you the full view on the titles you care about.
- Can I quote the chart?
- Yes. Link to the month page and credit piracy.watch. The citation block on every month page has a ready-made line.
- Why are there no counts, only an index?
- An index reads the same in every month and every market, so one month can be set beside the last without a footnote. Counts are in the platform.
Every month
Every month keeps its own page and its own address. The next one is added on the first working day after the month ends.
