### Number of Academy Awards TV viewers 2000-2025

In 2025, around 18.1 million Americans watched the Academy Awards ceremony. Oscars viewership fluctuates year by year, however, the last time the ceremony drew in a U.S. audience of more than 40 million was back in 2014. The figure recorded in 2021 was the lowest yet, and marked a drop-off of over 50 percent from the 2020 audience.   

Coverage of the Academy Awards

Viewership of awards ceremonies can depend on multiple factors, ranging from personal preferences to overall interest in nominees, as well as how much coverage is devoted to the ceremony before and during its broadcast. Interest in upcoming events in the media industry is often generated via social media, which can be extremely effective in generating discussions, interactions, and general awareness.  

In 2018, the [Academy Awards were mentioned 2.5 million times on social media](/statistics/827164/social-media-posts-mentions-oscars/) during the ceremony, and have also proved to be some of the [most popular TV specials on Twitter](/statistics/304372/us-twitter-tv-specials-audience-buzz/) in recent years. Conversely, a survey held in early 2019 revealed that 19 percent of U.S. adults had not come across any [news coverage for the 2019 Academy Awards](/statistics/686370/academy-award-mix-up-awareness/) at all.

### Leading tech companies worldwide 2025, by market cap

As of March 3, 2025, Apple was the leading tech company by market capitalization globally at 3.62 trillion U.S. dollars. Nvidia ranked second at just over three trillion U.S. dollars, a figure that tumbled in January 2025 following the dramatic release and success of [DeepSeek's AI model](/topics/13177/deepseek/). The Chinese-made AI model jumped to the top of the Apple Store in late January, stunning investors, and sinking multiple tech stocks.

Apple leads the pack

Since its foundation in a Californian garage in 1976, Apple has expanded massively, becoming one of the [most valuable companies in the world](/statistics/269444/brand-value-of-the-most-valuable-companies-worldwide/). The company started its origins in the PC industry with the Macintosh, but soon entered other segments of the consumer electronics market. Today, the [iPhone is the most popular Apple product](/statistics/382260/segments-share-revenue-of-apple/), although Mac, iPad, wearables, and services also contribute to its high revenues. Aiming at innovation, Apple invests every year in [research and development](/statistics/273006/apple-expenses-for-research-and-development/), spanning a wide array of technologies from AI through to extended reality.

Nvidia's immense growth

With a focus that began with origins in gaming, Nvidia's business strategy has been transformed by demand from [data centers](/topics/6165/data-centers/) that sit at the heart of the AI boom. The company's chips have been favored to support in the training and running of a range of large language models, most notably in the development of OpenAI's ChatGPT.

### Weekly development Dow Jones Industrial Average Index 2020-2025

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index dropped around 8,000 points in the four weeks from February 12 to March 11, 2020, but has since recovered and peaked at 44,910.65 points as of November 24, 2024. In February 2020 - just prior to the global [coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic](/page/covid-19-coronavirus), the DJIA index stood at a little over 29,000 points.  

U.S. markets suffer as virus spreads

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a turbulent period for stock markets – the [S&P 500](/statistics/1104270/weekly-sandp-500-index-performance/) and [Nasdaq Composite](/statistics/1104283/weekly-nasdaq-index-performance/) also recorded dramatic drops. At the start of February, some analysts remained optimistic that the outbreak would ease. However, the increased spread of the virus started to hit investor confidence, prompting a record plunge in the stock markets. The Dow dropped by more than 3,500 points in the week from February 21 to February 28, which was a fall of 12.4 percent – its worst percentage loss in a week since October 2008.  

Stock markets offer valuable economic insights

The [Dow Jones Industrial Average](/topics/5558/dow-jones-industrial-average/) is a stock market index that monitors the share prices of the 30 largest companies in the United States. By studying the performance of the listed companies, analysts can gauge the strength of the domestic economy. If investors are confident in a company’s future, they will buy its stocks. The uncertainty of the coronavirus sparked fears of an economic crisis, and many traders decided that investment during the pandemic was too risky.

### Leading apps in China 2024, by monthly active users

In December 2024, Tencent’s super app WeChat remained the most popular mobile app in China with around 1.15 billion monthly active users (MAUs). Its older instant messaging sibling QQ climbed to second, with about 840 million MAUs. Messaging, e-commerce, utility, and video streaming apps occupied the most spots in the top 20 list.   

What makes WeChat so attractive to users?

[WeChat](/study/109063/wechat/) is a multi-functional app beyond messaging and social networking. From mobile payment and taxi-hailing to making appointments and holiday planning, [it provides almost everything](/statistics/1395549/china-wechat-mini-program-traffic-share-by-category/) to every mobile user in China. WeChat users are from various age groups from teenagers to old adults. In general, most WeChat users spent at least 10 minutes per day on the app. In fact, many companies also use this "super app" to [advertise their brands](/statistics/1399155/wechat-most-influential-brand-channels/), and its business version Wecom to communicate internally.  

The promising future of short video apps

[The rise of short video entertainment](/study/132722/short-video-apps-in-china/) is another important trend in the world’s second most populous country, especially in rural regions. ByteDance’s Douyin, which TikTok was cloned from, is one of [the key players in the Chinese short video arena.](/statistics/910633/china-monthly-active-users-across-leading-short-video-apps/) Founded in 2016, Douyin had overtaken its imminent rival Kuaishou (Kwai) as China’s top short video app within four years. As the demand for rural life live streaming has been accelerating, industry experts expected that [Chinese short form video market would continue to grow](/statistics/874562/china-short-video-market-size/) to reach a total revenue of 420 billion yuan by 2024.

### Monthly consumer confidence in Japan 2025

In February 2025, consumer confidence in Japan reached 35 index points.

The index is based on a representative survey of Japanese households (excluding one-person households). They are asked to give their assessment of the areas of quality of life, income growth, employment and propensity to durable goods. From the responses, the overall index is calculated; seasonal adjustment via X-12-ARIMA. An index value above 50 indicates a positive mood of consumers, a reading below 50 points to a negative assessment.

### EU central bank interest rates 2022-2025, by country

European Union central banks navigated a complex economic landscape between 2022 and 2025, with interest rates initially rising across member states. However, a pivotal shift occurred in late 2023 as most countries began lowering their rates, reflecting the delicate balance between controlling inflation and supporting economic growth. In the Euro area, the [European Central Bank (ECB)](/topics/1385/european-central-bank/) led this trend by cutting interest rates from 4.5 percent to 3.15 percent in 2024, implementing four strategic rate reductions throughout the year. This approach was nearly universally adopted, with Poland being the sole EU country not reducing its rates during this period.

Global context and policy shifts

The interest rate changes in the EU mirror similar movements in other major economies. The United States, United Kingdom, and European Union central banks followed remarkably similar patterns from 2003 to 2024, responding to shared global economic conditions. After maintaining near-zero rates following the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, these institutions sharply raised rates in 2022 to combat surging inflation. By mid-2024, the [European Central Bank and Bank of England initiated rate cuts](/statistics/1470953/monthy-fed-funds-ecb-boe-interest-rates/), with the Federal Reserve following suit.

Varied approaches within the EU

Despite the overall trend, individual EU countries have adopted diverse strategies. Hungary, for instance, set the highest rate in the EU at 13 percent in September 2023, gradually reducing it to 6.5 percent by September 2024. In contrast, Sweden implemented the most aggressive cuts, lowering its rate to 2.25 percent by February 2025, the lowest among EU members. These divergent approaches highlight the unique economic challenges faced by each country and the flexibility required in monetary policy to address specific national circumstances.

### Monthly mean temperature in England 2015-2025

England's highest monthly mean air temperatures are typically recorded in July and August of each year. Since 2015, the warmest mean temperature was measured in July 2018 at 18.8 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, February of that same year registered the coolest temperature, at 2.6 degrees Celsius. In February 2025, the mean air temperature was five degrees Celsius, 50 percent lower than the same month the previous year.  

The English weather

England is the warmest region in the United Kingdom and the driest. In 2024, the [average annual temperature in England](/statistics/1379198/average-annual-temperature-uk-by-country/) amounted to 10.73 degrees Celsius – around 1.1 degrees above the national mean. That same year, [precipitation in England](/statistics/1009810/regional-annual-rainfall-uk/) stood at about 1,020 millimeters. By contrast, Scotland – the wettest region in the UK – recorded over 1,500 millimeters of rainfall in 2024.  

Temperatures on the rise

Throughout the last decades, the [average temperature in the United Kingdom](/statistics/610124/annual-mean-temperature-in-uk/) has seen an upward trend, reaching a record high in 2022. Global temperatures have experienced a similar pattern over the same period. This gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature is primarily due to various human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which lead to the [emission of greenhouse gases](/statistics/1285502/annual-global-greenhouse-gas-emissions/). This phenomenon has severe consequences, including more frequent and intense weather events, [rising sea levels](/statistics/1338748/changes-in-global-sea-level-rise/), and adverse effects on human health and the environment.

Bitcoin ATMs in Australia are mostly found in the country's two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. Brisbane had the third-highest number ATMs, closely followed by Perth in March 2024. These dispensers are different from traditional cash machines in that they do not connect to a bank account but connect users to a Bitcoin wallet or exchange. This way, they can convert physical money into digital currency. Australia was ranked as one of [the leading countries worldwide in terms of Bitcoin ATMs](/statistics/343147/number-of-bitcoin-atms-countries/).
