Amazon Prime Tops Netflix In U.S. Subscribers

Amazon Prime Video has supplanted Netflix as the top subscription streaming outlet in the U.S., according to research firm Parks Associates.

The group, which doesn’t disclose its methodology in terms of determining the number of subscribers, has held an annual ranking for over a decade, with Netflix topping the poll every time – until now.

Netflix slipped to second, with Hulu third, Disney+ fourth, HBO Max fifth, ESPN+ sixth, Paramount+ seventh, Apple TV+ eighth, Peacock ninth and Starz tenth.

Amazon said last year it has more than 200 million Prime members, with Prime Video among the program’s major benefits. Globally Netflix continues to lead with over 223 million subscribers, with Disney+ not far behind with 164.2 million globally.
