| Posted: 30 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST  Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston's "Murder Mystery," Beyonce's historic "Homecoming," Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" and Disney's "The Incredibles 2" rank among the most popular Netflix movies of 2019, the notoriously ratings-averse streamer announced Monday. Netflix has released a master list of its most-favored content in the United States, as well as individual rankings of films, original series, unscripted shows and comedy specials. Following "Murder Mystery" as the year's most popular film were titles including Michael Bay's critically panned "6 Underground," Pixar's "The Incredibles 2," Ben Affleck's "Triple Frontier," and Sony Animation's Oscar winner "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse." Viewership numbers were not disclosed, though in June the streamer tweeted that "Murder Mystery" had Netflix's biggest opening weekend ever, with over 30 million accounts watching the whodunit around the world. A sequel is currently in development. For the 2019 lists, "popularity" was not determined by the total number of viewers for a given piece of content, a Netflix spokesperson said. The lists were generated by counting the total number of households to stream an individual title for at least two minutes, during the first 28 days of its release. Popular on VarietyFor titles that debuted on Netflix less than 28 days ago, the company used a projection model to determine where final viewership numbers are likely to land (as it has done in the past on earnings calls with investors). Bay's Ryan Reynolds action film "6 Underground," for instance, only premiered on Dec. 13 — but it's the second most popular film release of 2019, and is ranked third on an overall list that includes series like "Stranger Things," according to Netflix. The documentary title that topped the year was Joe Berlinger's "Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes." On its heels was the visual feast "Our Planet," the water cooler sensation "FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened" and the Coachella festival masterpiece "Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce." Movies are notably dominant on the overall list, considering Netflix is a service built on bingeable episodic content. Only three series made the cut: "Stranger Things," the Duffer brothers' sci-fi thriller and the only series to break into the top five, as well as Henry Cavill's "The Witcher" (No. 6) and the comic-based "The Umbrella Academy" (No. 9). Thematically, the film content skews more popcorn than prestige. Billboards in Los Angeles and airport terminals wherever an Oscar voter might wander are littered with ads for Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story" and "The Two Popes," but these lists suggest Netflix subscribers prefer Ryan Reynolds doing air stunts in a jet sponsored by Red Bull (which is indeed a plot point in "6 Underground"). If Netflix's popularity metrics are to be taken at face value (many traditional media analysts do not do so), it would also justify some risky financial bets taken by the film group, led by Scott Stuber. Netflix acquired "Triple Frontier" for a reported $90 million after the film's distribution deal fell through at Paramount, and faced wide criticism and doubt for overspending. Likewise, the scripted Ted Bundy story "Extremely Wicked," starring Zac Efron and also from Berlinger, received a mixed 56% score from Rotten Tomatoes but left this year's Sundance Film Festival a $9 million check from Netflix following a bidding war. If the list has any forecasting power, it might be that Netflix needs to up its feature animation game. "The Incredibles 2" and "Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2," both franchises from Disney, brought them eyeballs in 2019. Those properties, and many more lingering from a previous output deal, have been locked in the vault at Netflix's competitor, Disney Plus. Netflix also revealed its most-watched TV shows of the year, including "Stranger Things 3," "The Witcher" and "When They See Us."

"I am excited for what's to come with my continued partnership with Jon Platt in his new leadership role at Sony/ATV," said Beyoncé.

| 22 of the Best (& Most Unforgettable) Grammy Awards Performances - SheKnows Posted: 21 Jan 2020 02:47 PM PST The Grammys are known for many things: outrageous fashion, gasp-worthy unscripted moments, and — of course — incredible performances by the greatest musicians of our time. So, what do all the best Grammy Awards performances have in common? Well, they up-end our expectations, either with an innovative set-up, costume, dance routine, and or by switching up the tone of their usual stage persona. From raw, emotional performances that made us cry to dance numbers that had us jumping out of our seats, these Grammy performances are absolutely unforgettable. At the Grammys, all genres are represented, from country stars like Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris to pop stars like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. At the 2020 Grammys, airing on Sunday, January 26, at 8 p.m. EST, host Alicia Keys will be joined by performers like Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Lizzo, Demi Lovato, and more. No matter what your preferred tunes are, the Grammys have something for everyone — and so do these 22 standout performances from the 60-plus years the Grammys have been running. Dolly Parton Tribute, 2019
In 2019, Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton blew us away with their rendition of "Jolene," a tune Cyrus had already memorably performed in a 2012 "Backyard Sessions" YouTube video. Kesha, 2018
Kesha's performance of "Praying," from her first album in five years Rainbow, was especially emotional given her recent legal battles with former producer Dr. Luke, who she's accused of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Adele, 2017
Adele has had many memorable Grammy performances, but her 2017 delivery of "Hello" was a new level of impressive. Beyoncé, 2017
Bow down! While pregnant with twins Rumi and Sir, Beyoncé belted out "Sandcastles" and "Love Drought" in this insanely regal attire. Kendrick Lamar, 2016
Everyone was rapt at Kendrick Lamar's 2016 Grammys performance, where he sang hits "The Blacker the Berry" and "Alright" from To Pimp a Butterfly. Madonna, 2015
Madonna's "Living for Love" at the 2015 Grammys proved this star is still unbeatable — and the bullfighting theme made for a hell of a performance. Beyoncé & Jay-Z, 2014
We love a Carter moment. Beyoncé and Jay-Z opened the 2014 Grammys with their performance of "Drunk in Love" — and everyone else might as well have gone home after. Taylor Swift, 2014
Whether you love her or hate her, you have to admit Taylor Swift gives it her all on stage. That was never more apparent than the 2014 Grammys, where her performance of "All Too Well" didn't leave a dry eye in the house. Carrie Underwood, 2013
Carrie Underwood performed "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs" at the 2013 Grammys — while wearing a dress that doubled as a film screen. Unforgettable. Jennifer Hudson, 2012
Jennifer Hudson can always make us cry with her beautiful singing voice, but her 2012 tribute to Whitney Houston left us especially emotional. Lady Gaga, 2011
In the biggest Grammys stunt performance in recent years, Lady Gaga was carried around in a giant egg from which she then "hatched" on stage for her performance of "Born This Way." (Get it?) Pink, 2010
Pink's "Glitter In the Air" performance was a sneak peek at how acrobatic the singer's shows have now become. At the time, her gymnast skills here relatively unknown — and when she suddenly flew up into the air on a sheet, jaws everywhere collectively dropped. Amy Winehouse, 2008
Amy Winehouse won five Grammys in 2008, and her performance makes it easy to understand why. "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good" were both performed via satellite from London due to the singer's Visa issues, but that didn't stop her performance from stealing the show. Christina Aguilera, 2007
Sing it, Xtina! Christina Aguilera's rendition of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," performed in tribute to James Brown, is talked about to this day for the passion and power of her delivery. Kanye West, 2006
Kanye West went all out for his 2006 performances of "Gold Digger" and "Touch the Sky," enlisting both Jamie Foxx and the entire Florida A&M University marching band to round out the show. Beyoncé & Prince, 2004
Is it any surprise that Beyoncé pops up most often on this list? When icons Beyoncé and Prince joined forces in 2004 for "Purple Rain" and "Baby I'm a Star," the crowd was on their feet. "Don't hate us 'cause we fabulous," Prince warned the audience before walking off the stage. No Doubt, 2003
Will we ever stop being nostalgic for the days of No Doubt? Gwen Stefani and her crew rocked out "Underneath It All" and "Hella Good," and it's still one of our favorite performances to watch. Destiny's Child, 2001
Speaking of nostalgia — Destiny's Child took the Grammys stage in 2001 to perform "Independent Woman" and "Say My Name," two hits that remain classics now and forever. Shania Twain, 1999
What's more memorable, the way Shania Twain sang "Man, I Feel Like a Woman," or what she wore to do it? We swear we're not trying to distract from her skills as an artist — but that opera glove-corset combo haunts our dreams. Céline Dion, 1998
The only thing better than Céline Dion's 1998 performance of "My Heart Will Go On" might be the backstory. Only 24 hours before the Grammys, Dion's plan to perform a duet with Barbra Streisand fell through (Streisand fell ill with the flu). Yes, that's right — Dion prepared this highly memorable rendition in less than one day. Eric Clapton, 1993
Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven," written for his late son Conor, will bring tears to your eyes in a recording. Performed live, no one stood a chance. Whitney Houston, 1986
Rolling Stone calls this performance by Whitney Houston the moment she became a "full-fledged superstar." We agree. Curious who will be added to this list? Tune in to the 62nd Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 26, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. |
