Netflix series racks up 17 million views in just four days to dominate top 10 chart
Link is copied Comments It's that time of the week again - when the weekend is looming and we start to plan which shows we want to binge-watch over the coming days. And while the warmer weather might be luring more of us away from our TV screens and out into the open, there's still plenty of goodies waiting for you on the streaming platform when you make it back to the sofa. This week's global top 10 sees the return of some familiar Netflix favourites, racking up millions of views as they make a splash in the charts. Read on for this week's top 10 most-watched TV shows (Picture: Getty Images) Kicking off this week's countdown is Netflix's latest true crime documentary - which, like most of them, has kept us all gripped. Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders explores the 1980s deaths that occurred in Chicago from cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. Over the course of the doc, Netflix looks into multiple theories that could help solve the killings, plus tracks down a key suspect that could piece the case together (Picture: Netflix) With the new series of Ginny & Georgia landing on Netflix this week - and picking up rave reviews from fans - it's understandable that folk who are new to the series might want to catch up on what they've missed. Hence the reappearance of the first season of this popular show, about a free-spirited single mother and her troubled teenage daughter as they head to Massachusetts in search of a new life (Picture: NETFLIX) Another compelling true crime documentary making its way down the charts, this one explores the decades-long global fight to hunt down former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden following the devastating events of September 11, 2001. The documentary features rare footage and interviews with CIA insiders who worked on the case (Picture: Netflix) K-drama is continuing to prove hugely popular on Netflix and this latest effort is a charming blend of romance, culture, and gourmet food. It centres around Han Beom-woo, an arrogant executive director at Seoul's top restaurant, and Mo Yeon-joo, a stubborn but passionate rural chef who runs a remote, one-table establishment. At first, the pair clash - but as you might expect, romance soon blossoms (Picture: Netflix) More drama from South Korea now, in the shape of the first new entry in this week's chart. Mercy For None is an action thriller about a former gangster who, 11 years after he left his gang and went into hiding, returns to the criminal underworld seeking revenge for his brother's murder. Based on the webtoon Plaza Wars, you can expect lots of gritty thrills and tense moments with this one (Picture: Jung Jae-gu/Netflix) The second newcomer in this week's chart is this Australian miniseries, based on the 2020 novel by crime writer Jane Harper. Set in Tasmania, it centres on a man who returns to his hometown with his family 15 years after a deadly storm killed three people he was close to. However when a young woman is murdered, his troubled past comes back to haunt him (Picture: Netflix) Another new entry now, this one from Italy and featuring Teresa Saponangelo and Claudia Gerini - best known for her role in John Wick: Chapter 2. The series centres on a former secret agent - the titular Sara - who is known for her crime-solving skills and ability to lipread. She puts those skills to the test when she returns to spycraft to investigate her son's mysterious death, unravelling a web of secrets about his life (Picture: Netflix) After reigning supreme in the top spot for a fortnight, this dark comedy drama is on its way down but still doing big business with viewers. Sirens focuses on a troubled young woman called Devon, who is struggling to care for her father, who has dementia. When her sister, Simone, doesn't answer her siren call for help, she tracks her down on a luxury island, where she's working for the enigmatic billionaire Michaela 'Kiki' Kell - but soon becomes concerned for her welfare (Picture: MACALL POLAY/NETFLIX) This new Scotland-set crime thriller is proving a big draw with Netflix viewers, with the show leaping up the charts in its second week of release. Matthew Goode takes the lead as Carl Morck, a former top-rated detective who lives in guilt after an attack left a policeman dead and his partner paralysed. After taking some time off to deal with the event, he is assigned to cold cases, only to be confronted with one that will take every ounce of his being to solve. Based on the book series by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen, it's packed with twists and turns to keep you guessing (Picture: Netflix) Given the popularity of Ginny & Georgia it's no surprise to see the new series of the show crash straight into the charts at number one - with nearly twice as many viewers as its nearest rival. Although given that series two ended on a cliffhanger involving a wedding, the police and a murder, it's understandable you would have tuned in in your millions to find out what happens next. We won't spoil it for you but with Georgia's past threatening to catch up with her, Ginny's life just got a lot more complicated. And with a fourth series already confirmed, there's even more drama to come (Picture: Amanda Matlovich/Netflix)

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."

Olivia Rodrigo performed at Glastonbury (Image: Getty Images) On Twitter/X, one stunned user wrote: "Jfc I didn't realise I needed Olivia Rodrigo singing Friday im in love so much." Another added: "Robert Smith coming out to sing Friday I'm in Love with Olivia Rodrigo is a pure Glastonbury moment." Her epic performance comes after another recent gig in London at BST Hyde Park left fans stunned with another huge surprise performer.

Both albums are no skips for me. I'm a proper fan." Ed added: "Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz. That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honour and a privilege." Prior to her huge closing set, Olivia spoke to the XM CBS channel in the United States. She explained how she sees Morissette and No Doubt frontman turned solo artist Gwen Stefani as a great inspiration for longevity in music. She said:"I love Alanis. She's so gracious too. I look at her and I talk to her and I'm like, that's how I want to live my life. I feel like she's got it right. "With Gwen I really love he way that she sort of straddled rock and pop in a really cool way. I think she's super adventurous and takes risks, so I really look up to her. But who's to say, I don't know. I don't know where I'm going to be tomorrow, let alone in five years.' She also teased a potential venture away from music in the near future. "I love telling stories in songs, and if there was a story that I felt like really resonated with me in a film, I would love to do that too," she said. "I don't quite know yet, but I'm very open to it." And he also wished Olivia luck ahead of her Glastonbury show, saying: "Rock Glasto headline Sunday @oliviaarodrigo, UK loves you x" READ MORE: How to see Glastonbury acts live this year after festival comes to an end Like this story?

How much Rod Stewart was paid for legends slot in Glastonbury 2025
How much Rod Stewart was paid for legends slot in Glastonbury 2025 Rod Stewart took to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday afternoon, with the music icon revealing how much he was getting paid ahead of his performance The Scottish singer took to the Pyramid stage during the coveted Sunday tea-time slot (Image: Penske Media via Getty Images ) In the run-up to his much-anticipated Sunday afternoon slot on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage, Sir Rod Stewart disclosed the fee he would be receiving for belting out his classic tunes. Chatting with Radio Times, the 80 year old rocker shared that due to his recent stint in Las Vegas, he's facing a hefty bill to transport all his gear back to Britain for his performance at Worthy Farm, reports the Manchester Evening News. "It's going to cost me £300,000 to do it and they (Glastonbury) only pay you about 120,000 quid," he revealed. Sir Rod was joined by the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood, his old mate from Faces, Lulu and Mick Hucknall on the stage. "I'm really looking forward to it," he said ahead of the performance. "And it is a different gig." He likened the experience to playing in a football final: "It's like when you're playing a cup final: you're trying to treat it like another game. But, of course, it's not. It's special. "It'll be glamorous, it'll be sexy," Rod went on. "And we've got a little orchestra coming on to play with us. Article continues below "And we may have some bagpipes.." The performer also managed to wrangle an extra quarter of an hour for his set, bringing it up to 90 minutes, despite initially being allocated only 75. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . Speaking to the BBC, he said: "Usually I do well over two hours so there's still a load of songs we won't be able to do. "But we've been working at it. I'm not gonna make any announcements between songs. "I'll do one number, shout 'next', and go straight into the next one. I'm going to get in as many songs I can." The 80 year old music icon sang a variety of his songs, such as Maggie May and Sailing. It's well-known that Glastonbury headliners receive far less in payment compared to other major festivals. Although the exact sums are confidential, it's understood that the festival's ethos of supporting charities means artists typically accept lower fees. Estimates of what past headliners have been paid vary widely, from £35,000 to £300,000, with the final figure often hinging on the artist's stature and negotiating clout. Article continues below Insiders hint that top-tier acts such as Coldplay, Beyonce, and The Rolling Stones might pocket around £200,000, a sum that pales in comparison to the £1 million or more they could rake in elsewhere.
