AboutTelevision Stats

What audiences actually care about.

Television Stats tracks the daily popularity of TV shows, movies, and actors by measuring real audience engagement across the web. It's the easiest and best way to see which shows, movies, and people are getting the most attention each day.

The gap in TV data

It's hard to know how well TV shows and movies are performing. Traditional TV networks and streaming services rarely share detailed performance data. When they do, it's usually for their best shows and movies or released months later. It's tough to gauge any one show's success. It's even tougher to compare shows across platforms. One network's top 10 means nothing compared to another's.

Television Stats uses a different approach. By analyzing online engagement and activity every day, we offer a fresh perspective on what people are watching, talking about, and generally engaging with. The data makes it easy to compare shows and movies no matter their distribution.

Why online engagement

Online engagement is one of the best ways to tell if people care about a show. Viewers go online for different reasons: to learn about a cast, check release dates, discuss a show with other fans, track their favorites, leave reviews, and more. Every one of those behaviors is a measurable signal of attention.

The Buzz Score

Buzz Score is Television Stat's daily measure of popularity. It combines a weighted blend of online engagement signals into a single number you can use to compare any titles side by side.

100
Calibrated
A score of 100 is the typical daily top-of-chart title. Most titles sit well below that.
