Valentine’s Day has helped move One Day, the romantic limited series, to the top of Netflix’s weekly ratings chart.

The series, which stars Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall and adapted from David Nicholls’ novel, launched on February 8. In its first week on the charts, it averaged 35.2M hours viewed and 5.3M views.

Last week, it rose to 9.9M views to top Netflix’s English TV Top 10.

It was followed by Season 6 of Love Is Blind, which debuted at number two with 6.3M views. The pair were followed by Griselda, which topped the list last week, The Tourist, Fool Me Once, Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All, American Nightmare, Warrior, Resident Alien and House, M.D.

The latter two entries highlight the power of Netflix’s licensing strategy, taking older shows and rocketing them to the top ten.

On the film side, Players, the new romantic comedy starring Gina Rodriguez and Damon Wayans Jr., claimed the top spot with 16.3M views. It was followed by Lover, Stalker, Killer, Despicable Me 3, Einstein and the Bomb, Minions, Orion and the Dark, Despicable Me 2, Despicable Me, American Assassin and The Devil Wears Prada, again highlighting how older movies perform well on the streamer.

Sam Esmail’s Leave the World Behind also climbed to the fifth spot on the Most Popular Films List, clocking 140M views in its first 73 days on Netflix.
