Netflix's 'The Crash' hits No. 1 on Samba TV chart
Netflix's true crime documentary, "The Crash," has achieved the top spot on a streaming chart, indicating a surge in popularity for the genre on the platform. This marks a notable instance for true crime content on Netflix, which typically maintains a strong presence but rarely reaches the number one position. The article positions "The Crash" alongside other popular Netflix content like "The Roast of Kevin Hart" and "Apex" which also topped charts.
Key Takeaways
- "The Crash" topped the Samba TV weekly Wrap Report.
- Netflix's true crime titles are described as a constant chart presence.
- The article notes true crime had "never been a chart-topper" on Netflix before this run.
- Netflix also had "The Roast of Kevin Hart" top the Samba TV weekly Wrap Report last week.
- The star-driven action film "Apex" held the chart lead for two weeks earlier this month.
Why It Matters
"The Crash" reaching No. 1 gives Netflix a chart-leading result from a genre that was already a regular performer but had not previously crossed that threshold. That matters because the article frames true crime alongside Netflix's comedy and action hits, suggesting the service can rotate different content types into the same weekly chart conversation. The specific signal to watch next is whether another Netflix true crime title appears in a future Samba TV weekly Wrap Report and where it lands relative to "The Roast of Kevin Hart" and "Apex".
