What is actually inside Netflix's Top 10 .tsv files — 501,040 rows, 94 countries, 269 weeks
Netflix publishes two Top 10 data files. We counted what is in them so you do not have to download 30MB to find out: every column, the weeks and countries covered, and which columns are empty and how often.
The table this is written from: /netflix-tudum-data-dictionary
Netflix publishes its Top 10 charts as two tab-separated files. People search for those file names constantly — they are, by a wide margin, the most-searched thing that brings anyone to this site.
So here is what is in them, counted rather than described, so you can decide whether you need the download.
all-weeks-countries.tsv
| Rows | 501,040 |
| Columns | 8 |
| Weeks | 269 (2021-07-04 to 2026-08-23) |
| Countries | 94 |
| Distinct titles named | 11,927 |
Columns: country_name, country_iso2, week, category, weekly_rank, show_title,
season_title, cumulative_weeks_in_top_10.
Only one column is ever empty: season_title, on 51.1% of rows — films and one-season shows
have no season to name.
all-weeks-global.tsv
| Rows | 10,760 |
| Columns | 9 |
| Weeks | 269 (2021-07-04 to 2026-08-23) |
| Distinct titles named | 3,428 |
Columns: the same, plus weekly_hours_viewed, runtime and weekly_views.
Three columns have gaps: season_title 51.5%, and runtime and weekly_views both 37.9%.
The full column-by-column table is here.
The two mistakes this data invites
An empty cell is not a zero. weekly_views is missing on 37.9% of global rows. Those titles were
in the Top 10 — the file just carries no view figure for them. Replacing those blanks with 0 and
summing is the commonest way to produce a confident wrong number from this file.
A title missing from a country is not a title nobody watched. These are top tens. A show that placed eleventh produces no row at all. So any count of “countries where X charted” is a floor and never a total. We say so on every page of ours that uses it, and it is worth saying again here, because the file gives you no warning.
What we do not do
We do not host the files or reproduce rows from them. They are Netflix’s, and you download them from netflix.com/tudum/top10. Everything above is a count we made from our own copy, dated 3 September 2026 — Netflix updates the files weekly, so the row counts will have moved by the time you read this.
This describes a data file. It is not a measure of what anyone watched, and the file’s own gaps are listed above rather than smoothed over.
Where these numbers come from
Sources
- Netflix — Public Top 10 data files, all-weeks-countries.tsv and all-weeks-global.tsv, downloaded 2026-09-03 and read line by line. We publish counts made from them, not the files · https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10
What we checked
- We do not republish the files or quote sample rows. Every figure here is a count we made, which is our own measurement rather than a redistribution
- An empty cell is a blank, N/A or NA. A literal 0 is not counted as empty, because folding zeroes and blanks together is what produces wrong totals from this data
- Row counts, distinct titles, weeks and countries were each counted from the file itself rather than taken from any description of it
- Our copy is dated 3 September 2026 and Netflix updates these files weekly, so the row counts here will drift. The date is printed beside every figure
- This is a description of a file, not a claim about viewing. What a Top 10 file omits is stated in the piece rather than left implied

If you work in this business
Everything on this page is measured from the same weekly Netflix lists, per market and per title. We publish the pages free; what we sell is the same measurement cut to one company's catalogue — including the figures behind /netflix-tudum-data-dictionary and /netflix-which-country.
