Luminate

Join us on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 3 p.m. EST/12 p.m. PST for a live virtual demo of Luminate’s Streaming Viewership (M), the premier analytics tool tracking minutes watched, hours watched, and views for movies and TV shows across major U.S. streaming platforms. This powerful tool drives the Variety Streaming Originals Charts.

In early October, we launched the Luminate Index, a comprehensive metric that ranks 500+ artists on a 0-100 scale based on the depth, breadth, and affinity of their fandoms. This tool helps brands and labels better align partnerships and understand audience impact. Unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift, Adele, and Beyoncé led the overall rankings. Interestingly, for the Hispanic audience, Shakira claimed the top spot. Read more in this week's Tuesday Takeaway: https://lnkd.in/gfNDnfjD

"Data is Luminate’s entire business — it receives more than 3.5 terabytes of data every day, in different formats, from different sources. The studios, record labels, networks and artists they serve all need that data to understand what’s happening in the competitive landscape. With Snowflake at the core of its data lake architecture, Luminate can now automatically scale storage and compute independently on a single platform."

When the most successful movie producer of the century decided to double down on TV, it seemed like an easy bet. Marvel Entertainment had already enjoyed TV successes with ABC hit Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and shows on Netflix led by Daredevil, though those were produced by a television team largely outside of the purview of Marvel hitmaker Kevin Feige. To support #Disney+, the movie studio took over producing TV shows, bringing its iconic characters to the small screen while introducing new characters to join Marvel’s heroes on the big screen. #WandaVision was an initial success for Disney, but it took over three years to follow up with its spinoff, Agatha All Along. While the smaller-scope show has dropped out of the Top 10 in the Variety Streaming Originals Chart powered by Luminate, it has managed to maintain viewership leading up to the two episode finale released this week.

A corner of entertainment often overlooked in year-end retrospectives is the performance of #standup #comedy specials and the power they hold to launch up-and-coming talent into stardom. In the present media landscape, Netflix holds the crown by a long shot for featuring the most #comedyspecials, having released 38 this year alone. (Second place is Prime Video with seven.) The consumption data provided by Luminate’s Streaming Viewership (M) yields valuable insight into the top performers of this media sector and is an invaluable tool to find the next breakout comedy star.

As we inch closer to the end of 2024, one trend we’ve continued to track at Luminate is the growth of non-English #music and the export power of ex-U.S. territories. One way to highlight the latter is by looking at trends in #streaming share based on artist country of origin. Through the first half of 2024, artists from countries like Mexico, Brazil and France grew their streaming share at the #global level the most. This development reflects a broader shift in the music landscape, where non-English-speaking regions are gaining influence. A key driver of Mexico’s growth is the Regional Mexican #subgenre, which is propelling Mexico’s presence on the global stage and is now the leading #Latin subgenre in the U.S. Artists like Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida and others have played a major role in this surge, capturing the attention of #international audiences.
