Netflix is rolling out a new feature that will allow users to see the most popular content on the service. TechCrunch explains that these top 10 lists will breakdown the most popular titles across all of Netflix, as well for just movies and shows.
Netflix says that these top 10 lists will be updated on a daily basis in each country. The home screen in the Netflix app will show the top 10 Overall list, combining the top movies and shows into one list. If you switch to the standalone Movies or TV show tabs, you can see separate lists for both categories.
Shows that appear in the top 10 lists will receive a “top 10” badge wherever they appear on Netflix as a marker of recognition.
Netflix, however, will still personalize where the top 10 list appears for everyone:
One of the biggest criticisms about Netflix’s apps has been that the company makes it difficult to see what other people on the service are actually watching. While Netflix feature’s curated selections of popular content, there has never been a “top charts” sort of feature, with content ranked in order of popularity.
Netflix explained the motivation behind finally adding this feature:
The new top 10 lists are rolling out to Netflix users everywhere, across all platforms, starting today.
