Summary

Patrick Stewart led Wikipedia with 4.2 million pageviews. You Can See Everything led the weekend box office at $11.4 million, Racing Santander vs. Real Madrid led Google at 20,000+ searches, and the market on Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel's next prime minister led Polymarket at $13.8 million. These charts start this week, so nothing here is compared with the week before.

Several names showed up on more than one list. You Can See Everything drew 416,248 Wikipedia pageviews, and the Times piece "I'm in 'You Can See Everything.' Here's My Side of the Story." spent 2 days on the most-read list. Clayface, second at the box office, drew 231,603 pageviews. ChatGPT drew 657,779 and sat on the App Store chart all 5 collected days. Patrick Stewart's memoir Making It So charted on Apple Books, and the Times story on his death made the most-read list. The 2026 Israeli legislative election drew 1,880,927 pageviews, and a market on its outcome led Polymarket.

Broadway's latest grosses, led by Hamilton, and Netflix's top 10 lists, led by Animals and From: Season 1, are for the week ending Oct. 25.

Crossover

Names that appeared on more than one surface this week. Matching is by a normalized title, so a film and the Wikipedia article about it count as one name.

Names on more than one surface
Each cell is a placing; darker is higher on that surface's list

History

How long each surface's number one has held, counted in editions.

Weeks at number one

The chart starts with this edition.

The week's mood

Halloween ran through several lists. Ghostbusters, Thriller and This Is Halloween led Spotify, a Halloween songs playlist spent 2 days on YouTube's trending list, Happy Halloween trended on X, and "daylight saving time halloween coincidence" drew 2,000+ Google searches. Christmas was already on the lists too, with All I Want for Christmas Is You at 9 on Spotify and Christmas at the Kringles making $710,526 at the box office.

Sources and method

Collected every morning at 7 a.m. Pacific by the Hex project “CE - Culture Genie” and ranked each Tuesday for the week from Monday to Sunday. A surface gets a bar chart only when its source publishes a measured value: dollars, pageviews, players, or Google's approximate search counts, which Google publishes as floors (500+, 5,000+) and this report adds up over the days a term trended. Sources that publish only a ranking (X, Spotify, Apple, Netflix) appear as ranked lists; daily lists are ordered by days on the list, then mean rank, and weeks in a Top 10 are shown as a badge, never as a bar. Weekly charts such as Broadway grosses and the Netflix Top 10 use the latest table available at the Tuesday run. Movement compares against the previous edition on the same source. Artwork comes from each source's own feed. Code and fixtures: github.com/skidubb/culture-genie.
