The Price Of Milk: Lost Ark Raids Charts
There was a fair amount of change in the number 1 spots this week, but it was the online game Lost Ark that really blew up this week, topping the most-viewed and most-played charts on Twitch and Steam respectively.
Lost Ark took its time to arrive, but it's landed with a huge bang. Since dropping on 11th Feb it's already become one of only a handful of games to break 1m+ concurrent players on Steam, while its launch was one of the most-watched ever on Twitch (where this week it's also been the most-viewed title channel - even more that 'Just Chatting', which only happens rarely).
Elsewhere, The Tinder Swindler - presumably guaranteed a green light based on the catnip title alone - was the largest film release on Netflix, alongside Inventing Anna for TV. Neither could overtake All Of Us Are Dead though for global hours watched, which is still pulling in mad amounts of viewing time around the world.

?? Wait, WTF is this?
If this is your first time here... I recently realised I didn't know what was "Number 1", not in music, streaming, film, anything really. I also realised it's really time-consuming to find out, so I pulled together some (pretty lo-fi) tech that compiles the top-ranking bits of content from charts around the world - the most popular, the highest selling, the most played, and the most binge-watched pieces of the zeitgeist. It's called?The Price Of Milk?in honour of all those politicians who got called out on TV for not knowing what everyday things cost, and I'm using it as a cultural crib sheet each week, a quick check-in on what's popular around the world. If you think it's useful, you can sign up to this as a weekly newsletter - none of my dumb opinions, just what's topping charts based on published data. No spam, no selling, not ever, I promise.
