The Australian series is once again smashing records, this time on its American home of Disney+.

The latest ratings data from Nielsen’s reveals the hit animated ABC program Bluey ranks ninth in the top ten most streamed acquired series for the February 14-20 period.

With lists separated for original programming from each streamer, and acquired series from other local and international networks, Bluey reaches the achievement with 298 million minutes streamed, one of only two Disney+ titles (where it is available in the U.S.) featured on the list.

Bluey beats Downtown Abbey (streaming on Netflix), and falls behind iconic series’ such as NCIS, Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, Seinfeld and New Girl (all Netflix).

The kids show (although adults love it too) began in 2018 and follows Bluey, a seven-year-old Blue Heeler puppy who is characterised by her abundance of energy, imagination and curiosity of the world, living with her parents and younger sister.

Set against a Brisbane backdrop, the show was created and is produced in Queensland for the ABC.

Smashing records left, right and centre since it began, Bluey has been recognised both on a national and international scale, picking up multiple AACTA Awards, Kidscreen Awards, an International Emmy Kids Award, a Logie Award, and even a TV Blackbox Award last year in the Most Popular Children’s Show category.

Bluey began airing its third season in 2021, with 26 episodes still to come for 2022.

The Nielsen TV ratings data also reveals the top ten films, and top ten titles overall, streaming across the U.S.

Netflix’s Inventing Anna series was number one overall, with 3.28 billion minutes streamed in the reporting period. Love Is Blind (Netflix) and Encanto (Disney+) were second and third.

Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries, and currently only include Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
