How Much Popular is CoComelon?
As you know, CoComelon is the world’s most streamed children’s entertainment program. Did you know the show had 33 billion minutes last year? Yes, this is more than the combination of Netflix hits Squid Game and Bridgerton, according to market-measurement firm Nielsen.
According to Tubular, CoComelon had 3.6 billion views on YouTube in January. In fact, three-quarters of the views were from outside the U.S. Moreover, CoComelon was a Top 10 show on Netflix for more than 100 straight days in 2021. In addition, its music is streamed 1.3 million times daily on Spotify.
Why is It So Popular Among Kids?
Many of you might think that CoComelon is only a rating juggernaut. However, it is not so. It’s also a model for a new approach to children’s TV. Needless to say, the educators who developed hits like Sesame Street and SpongeBob SquarePants had to fight for years to get their shows on the air.
So naturally, a room of adults could toil on a concept that helped kids learn important ideas. However, they could only find out that the viewers were not interested. Therefore, CoComelon is part of a push to eliminate such guesswork. But we can also say that the pandemic is one of the reasons why kids started watching it even more.
Well, the success of the show is attracting big money. As you know, in November, two Disney alums acquired Moonbug for $3 billion. They were also backed by the private-equity firm Blackstone. Since then, the company has rolled out a CoComelon live tour, a Spotify podcast, and just about every form of merchandise you can imagine, from bubble machines to throw pillows. Quite an interesting way to increase profits, don’t you think?
Is There a Dark Story Behind CoComelon?
Needless to say, Netflix’s record-breaking show CoComelon has become one of the most popular kids’ shows ever. Even though people consider it as a show just for kids, there’s a nod to the Watts family in one of its many songs. So parents who tuned in for the moment immediately recognized the Watts family’s names.
Therefore, there are speculations that Cocomelon probably has characters based on the Watts family murders. In fact, it is also featured in Netflix’s American Murder. Don’t you think it seems counterintuitive, especially for a show like Cocomelon? Well, it is so popular because it’s basically the secret to subduing young children with an hour of happily animated nursery rhymes. Even though there might be a link, it is not based on them.
Ending Note
So as we conclude, we can say that CoComelon is one of the most popular kids’ shows. It has broken many records already and is continuing to do so. Each one-hour episode features around 20 songs for toddlers and preschoolers. You can watch it with your kids as well!
