SpongeBob SquarePants (Nickelodeon, USA; 1999–present) was the most popular children's TV show in the world in 2018, according to data science firm Parrot Analytics, with a rating of 2.561 Demand Expressions per capita (DEx/c). It stars the endearing titular yellow sponge and his other marine friends from the town of Bikini Bottom in the Pacific Ocean. Parrot Analytics has devised a system of “television content demand measurement” that quantifies how viewers are engaging with TV shows. It does so by analysing “Demand Expressions” worldwide – everything from video consumption (streaming/downloads) to social media (hashtags, liking, sharing) and research and commentary (reading or writing about shows, etc.). The more effort – i.e., time – invested by the viewer, the greater the weighting. The interest in a programme is assessed in terms of “Demand Expressions per capita” (DEx/c) – the overall average daily global audience engagement with a show per 100 people within a set time frame. The data for this record covers the period 15 January 2018 to 14 January 2019.
