\n\t\u201cBluey<\/a>\u201d was 2025\u2019s most-streamed title in the U.S. in 2025 \u2014 of any kind, including adult series and films \u2014 with 45 billion minutes watched, per Nielsen. This is the second year in a row that the animated children\u2019s series has claimed the No. 1 title.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe achievement doesn\u2019t come as a surprise, as \u201cBluey\u201d has made it onto Nielsen\u2019s Top 10 streaming charts almost every week for a few years now. Still, the 45.2 billion-minute total is made doubly impressive when noting that \u201cBluey\u201d only comprises of 154 episodes on Disney+, most of which are less than 10 minutes long. Its closest competitor was \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy,\u201d which hit No. 2 most-streamed with 40.9 billion minutes watched on Hulu and Netflix across its 455 episodes, which run for more than 40 minutes each. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d was the runner-up in 2024 as well, continuing a trend of acquired titles with large libraries dominating the viewership charts. The only streaming original to make the overall Top 10 for 2025 was \u201cStranger Things\u201d<\/a> with just under 40 billion minutes watched. The hit series was boosted by the release of its fifth and final season across November and December. See the Top 10 most-streamed titles of the year below.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese data points were released as part of Nielsen\u2019s ARTEY Awards, which take a look at the major streaming trends over the course of a year. Another notable acquired title to win an ARTEY was \u201cGunsmoke,\u201d the western drama than ran on CBS for 20 seasons from 1955 to 1975. The series was named Nielsen\u2019s most-binged title of the year. It achieving 22.5 billion minutes watched in 2025 \u2014 a big jump from the series\u2019 already impressive 10.2 billion minutes watched in 2024 \u2014 but perhaps even more notable is that \u201cGunsmoke\u201d viewers typically stuck with the show for an average for 241 episodes. Per Nielsen, its availability for free on ad-supported platforms like Pluto added significantly to its growth this year, though it also streams on Peacock on Paramount+. Nielsen also noted that \u201cGunsmoke\u201d attracted a generally older audience, and that Black viewers made up 29% of its total stream time. <\/p>\n

\n\tOther ARTEY winners included \u201cK-Pop Demon Hunters\u201d as the most-streamed movie of the year<\/a> and Seth MacFarlane as the inaugural Streaming Icon of the Year<\/a> in recognition of his highly viewed work across titles and platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cBluey\u201d was 2025\u2019s most-streamed title in the U.S. in 2025 \u2014 of any kind, including adult series and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":308453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[32580,18,117,19,17,128],"class_list":{"0":"post-308452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-bluey","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115974211296033831","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=308452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=308452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=308452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
