[2026] Heat Index ranking ~ iQiyi

This list will only regroup dramas that started airing in 2026.

So what is iQiyi's heat index ? It's a measure created by iQiyi in 2021 to define the popularity of their dramas. The way it is calculated is not really clear and is proper for the company. So, we can't compare it with other companies' heat index .

Signification of iQiyi heat index (from my interpretation) :

A drama has some popularity when the index reaches 6 000
A drama that reaches 9 000 is well known and really popular.
A drama that reached 10k can be considered a super popular and successful drama (top drama from the platform). 10k is not the limit and the score can be higher. The comparison between dramas of the same company is not significant too.

Depending on the actors, the IP's popularity, the drama's budget, etc..., the score's meaning is totally different. For a high-budget drama with popular actors and ip, reaching 7 500 is average. However, for a low budget with no so well-known actors and not-so-popular ip, reaching 7 500 shows that the drama is a success.

Highest Heat Index ranking : (total of dramas over 10k till 2025 - 20)

The Knockout (2023) - 11 800
The Thriving Land (2025) - 11 017 (NEW)
My Heroic Husband (2021) - 10 745
Love Between Fairy and Devil (2022) - 10 572
New Life Begins (2022) - 10 477
