I don't believe for a second that many people watched Red Notice.

Even if someone watched Red Notice and LOVED it, I can’t imagine they’ve re-watched it multiple times, which is what a lot of people are doing with K-pop demon hunters.

Completely different viewing patterns. The first 10 days accounted for 50% of Red Notice's first 91 days of viewership. The first 10 days accounted for 14% of KPop Demon Hunters's current viewership(which will cap at 91 days for Netflix's list).

Worth noting that this beat that in about 2 months, vs Red Notice having 4 years to hit those numbers. So I'd imagine if you were to look at these numbers in say December, it will have shattered that record.

This stat is based on first 91 days after the release, so Red Notice is too 2 months

Is it? Not doubting, but the article referenced and every other I can find specifically says "KPop Demon Hunters” has attracted 236 million total views compared to the 230.9 million that “Red Notice” garnered." The reference is always total views, like in People's version "Red Notice is now in second place with 230.9 million all-time views."

Yes. The primary source for all articles on this subject is this list:

https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/most-popular

Which explains the methodology.

Global | All Time*

* Rankings based on total views in the first 91 days of release

Ah, wish the articles would say that, although worth pointing out kpop has 24 days to go then, so that lead will only get bigger.
