# Worst-to-best ranking of the month's new releases

A culture and creative format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/culture-and-creative/worst-to-best-ranking-of-the-month-s-new-releases

Rank everything new you watched that month from worst to best, giving each entry one sentence and a score. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 7x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Talking head.

## Why it works

One complete roundup gives a quick verdict on many titles, and teasing the worst pick and the #1 pick keeps people to the end. It outperforms the same creators' single-title posts.

## How to make it

1. Tease the worst and best picks in the hook
2. Count down with one sentence per title
3. Show a persistent score badge on screen

## Hook formula

I watched [number] new [shows/movies] from [month], so here they are ranked from worst to best.

## Examples

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
