It's been another busy week on streaming, with several new shows entering to shake up the charts and several previously-dominant entries wrapping for the season and making way for new shows to make their way onto the charts. Keep reading to see what shows rocked
Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and Max this week.Hulu:
Broadcast TV's #1 show this season, Dancing with the Stars, continued a season of explosive growth by hitting #1 on Hulu for the first time this season, being one of only three shows to lead the streamer's chart this week, and has trended for the three days following the release of its latest episode. Despite not airing this week, its lead-out, High Potential, also stayed on the chart, placing in the top fifteen for the entire week. 9-1-1 charted the entire week as well, and led the chart on two occasions, though it was blocked from a return to the top after the release of its midseason finale by the film Alien: Romulus, which was recently added to Hulu. Spinoff Lone Star also topped the chart, and had its best week yet with an appearance on the chart for each day in the last week. Among 9-1-1's fellow ABC originals, Grey's Anatomy managed to chart each day and peaked at #3, while Ryan Murphy's Doctor Odyssey charted five fives, and peaked at #6, weaker than its average performance. Abbott Elementary didn't air this week, so it ended up slipping off the chart after charting the first four days of the week. Despite being a live TV award show, the CMA Awards - which aired on Wednesday and kept Abbott off the air - looked quite strong on Hulu, peaking at #2 on Friday and staying in the top five the next day. Viewers seem to have caught CMA fever, and pushed this summer's CMA Fest into the top fifteen as well. 20/20 logged four appearances in the top fifteen, while its lead-in, Shark Tank, was one of the only ABC shows to miss the chart this week, the other being America's Funniest Home Videos. Fox is the other network with programming available on Hulu, and they placed several shows onto the chart in addition to the aforementioned Lone star. Rescue: HI-Surf and The Floor both peaked at #3, with Rescue charting three days and The Floor charting for two (and counting). The Masked Singer made a single appearance, while Hell's Kitchen made four and peaked at #7. After cheating for the first time this season last week, Accused returned to the chart this week at #10. Fellow Tuesday drama Murder in a Small Town also logged a single appearance, at #6. Crime Scene Kitchen managed to break onto the chart for the first time this season, sneaking in at #14, meaning that every Fox show that aired a new episode this week managed to chart. Hulu original Interior Chinatown, which released its entire season this week in a binge release, peaked at #2 and charted for four days before falling off the chart on Saturday. FX's What We Do in the Shadows peaked at #8 and slipped to #15 the next day before dropping off the chart. FX on Hulu original Say Nothing charted for two days, after the full miniseries was released the previous week. Films also made up a significant part of the list. Documentary The Honorable Shyne led the list, as did Alien: Romulus, which was mentioned above. Thelma and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl also charted for several days.

Disney+:
It was not a good week for TV shows on Disney+, which currently does not have a single ongoing original series and is entirely fueled by Disney movies. Agatha All Along, which ended nearly a month ago, was one of the few TV series to crack the chart at all, peaking at just #7 and only charting for three days. High Potential, which aired its midseason finale the previous week, was the only other TV series in the chart, with a single appearance at #10. in terms of movies, Deadpool & Wolverine was dominant once again, leading the entire week. Moana, which is set to release its sequel next weekend, was in second for six days. Christmas movies also began to truly dominate, with all three Santa Clause movies, Home Alone 2 and 3, and original short films An Almost Christmas Story and The Boy & the Octopus all charting for multiple days this week. In the cases of both Home Alone 2 and The Santa Clause, they dropped off the chart mid-week and were replaced by their less-popular sequels which hadn't been charting at all in the days before, a fairly confusing pair of data points. Disney+ original film Out of My Mind also charted this week, as did Hulu's Jim Gaffigan stand-up special. Disney+ also promoted Oz: The Great & Powerful to their home page following the release of Wicked, resulting in the long-forgotten film landing on chart in seventh place.

Peacock:
After stopping the long-running crime show from leading Peacock's chart the entire week last week, The Day of the Jackal did it again. The British co-production starring Eddie Redmayne led the way on Peacock for the first two days of this week, before dropping to second and going as low as fifth before rebounding to third by the close of the week. SVU, meanwhile, took second the first two days of the week before returning to glory and leading for the remainder of the week. Its parent show, Law & Order, wasn't so lucky, only logging four appearances, a below-average showing. Even worse was SVU's lead-out, Found. The show that was rivaling SVU on Peacock in the early days of the season has fallen hard, starting the week in ninth place, disappearing for the next five days, and only re-emerging on Saturday in tenth place. It's an incredibly poor showing, though still better than Brilliant Minds, which aired a new episode this week but was still MIA despite reliably charting after the release of new episodes earlier this season. Also dropping a bit was the Chicago franchise. Chicago PD peaked at #3 this week, and for only a single day, while Fire didn't go higher than #4z and Med only went as high as sixth, as they saw increased competition. And while last week was a strong one for NBC comedy, this week decidedly wasn't. Of the four sitcoms airing on NBC this week, only St. Denis Medical made an appearance on the chart, peaking at a solid #3 and charting for three days in all. Night Court's premiere missed the chart entirely, and Happy's Place failed to crack the top ten despite having a breakthrough week on Peacock the week prior. Lopez vs Lopez also failed to chart after just sneaking in the previous week. Inexplicably, the only sitcom to chart on Peacock this week other than St. Denis was Roseanne, which charted the entire week for no apparent reason, as it's long been on the service and has never charted previously. Saturday Night Live also logged a single appearance, a below-average seventh place showing. Another comedy, Peacock original Based on a True Story, did look pretty strong, with the Kaley Cuoco series charting for two days and counting at second place after its entire second season was released.

For the first time since this column began, one show has swept the Paramount+ list, finishing on top every day of the week. That show is Sylvester Stallone's Tulsa King, which is currently eyeing a two-season renewal after wrapping its second season this week. Stallone is one of the highest-paid actors on TV for the series, and that money seems to be well spent. That was far from Taylor Sheridan's only entry on the list. The super-creator, who became the prophet of Paramount after Yellowstone's explosive success, added a new show to his empire this week: Landman, starring Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton. It was the weakest of the three Sheridan shows this week, missing the chart for a few days towards the end of the week, but it was still abnormally strong for a Paramount+ original, as those are lucky to even crack the list for one day. It peaked at #3, finishing their twice, with the same two shows ahead of it: Tesla King and fellow Sheridan creation Lioness, which itself had an excellent week, peaking at #2 three days this week and never falling below fourth. While the Sheridan shows undoubtedly did quite well all on their own this week, their domination of the Paramount+ charts was assisted by several of the streamer's typical top performers not airing new episodes this week. NCIS, The Neighborhood, Ghosts, Matlock, Georgie & Mandy and Elsbeth - which you can typical rely on to make the chart at least once in a week - all charted lower than usual, or not at all. The Neighborhood fell off the chart for the first time since it returned this season, while Ghosts couldn't rise above seventh place, and NCIS peaked at #3, when you can usually count on it to lead the chart at least once following the release of a new episode. Some CBS originals did air this wee though, including Tracker, which had a strong week of its own, charting the entire week and peaking at second place. Fire Country charted three times and also peaked at #2. Blue Bloods charted five times and peaked at #5. The Equalizer, FBI and Survivor both charted one day, after they released new episodes. Even with less competition than usual, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, The Summit and SWAT all failed to chart even once.

Max:
With its signature draw having ended a week ago, there was a new leader on Max's charts for the first time since this column began. Yes, The Penguin's time on top came to a close, leading on Sunday before the premiere of HBO's newest high-profile drama and then alternating between second and third the remainder of the week. It was Dune: Prophecy, a TV spinoff of the blockbuster Dune films starring Emily Watson, which has now taken the throne, leading for all six days following its release. Linear ratings were paltry, but it seems to be making up for that on streaming so far. Last Week Tonight, in its final week of the season, remained strong, peaking at #2 and staying in the top six the entire week. Fellow "late night" talker Real Time with Bill Maher only charted two days this week, though it did manage a #2 peak. Scripted comedy Somebody Somewhere looked decent again this week, ranging between 6th and 9th place as it charted through the week. The Franchise remained the weak link in the Sunday lineup, with a streaming performance that matches its abysmal linear showing, placing 10th for three days straight before disappearing. Docuseries Breath of Fire, which ended the previous week, slipped off the list (likely for good) on Tuesday. It's Florida, Man had an up and down week, starting the week at fourth, dropping as low as tenth, and then working its way up to fifth by week's end. Max also had a scripted original of its own on the list, which has become a rarity as much of Max's scripted content has moved to HBO (its last two marquee Sunday night series originated as Max originals). Third-season comedy The Sex Lives of College Girls returned for a new season, entering in third and rising to second the next day. Reality show Human vs. Hamster, which is a real show and not a late TVRG April Fools joke, debuted in ninth. Outside of HBO/Max programming, it was another solid week for Harry Potter - Wizards of Baking. In a rarity for a Food Network show, it held on the chart the entire week, peaking at #3 this week. Fellow Food Network show Holiday Baking Championship also looked strong, charting for four days and peaking as high as #6. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise cooled off a bit, missing the chart entirely for three days and only logging seven appearances between the two shows - a sharp decline.
