The trend shows scores consistently in the 93-97 range over a two-week period with no significant directional movement. A minor peak occurred around July 28 (97.57), followed by a slight pullback, but scores have stabilized in the 93-95 band. This is characteristic of a perennial 'best of year' content category that maintains steady audience interest throughout the year rather than spiking dramatically. The slight downward drift from the July 28 peak suggests the initial surge has passed, but sustained engagement keeps it from declining sharply.
