It did not sit there. It kept coming back

Weeks on chart and longest unbroken run are counted separately, which is how the gaps became visible. 78 of 93 countries have a gap — the title fell out of the top 10 and returned. A single “weeks on chart” figure would have hidden that.

This is a presence count, not an audience count. A small country's top 10 is easier to stay in than a large one's, so a longer run does not mean more people watched. Netflix publishes no per-country viewing hours at all.

How this was measured

  • What this is — How many weeks KPop Demon Hunters sat in each country top 10, counted from the raw weekly country tables, and whether those weeks ran unbroken.
  • Source — Netflix weekly Top 10 country tables
  • Window — 4 July 2021 to 23 August 2026

What this cannot tell you

  • What this is not — Not an audience count. A place in a top 10 is presence, not hours watched, and Netflix publishes no per-country viewing hours.
