American Horror Story's nearest audiences span musicians, actors, game developers, and fellow TV shows — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest. The top 10 scores run from Halsey at 0.92 down to Ian Somerhalder at 0.88, a narrow band that signals a diffuse, cross-kind audience shape rather than a concentrated one.
Tallying the top 10 by subcategory: four are Musicians and Bands (Halsey at 0.92, Paramore at 0.90, Miley Cyrus at 0.89, Backstreet Boys at 0.89), five are Actors (Channing Tatum at 0.90, Ashley Benson at 0.89, Troian Bellisario at 0.88, Misha Collins at 0.88, Nina Dobrev at 0.88), and one is a Movie Franchise (Harry Potter Film at 0.88, just outside the top 10 proper). No other TV Show appears in the top 10 — the only fellow TV Show in the broader set visible here is The Walking Dead at 0.87, well down the list. The mix of pop and rock musicians alongside actors from genre-adjacent properties (several of the actors are associated with supernatural or teen-drama franchises) points to an audience that organizes around fandom culture broadly, not around horror or television specifically.
The flat shape here means American Horror Story's audience composition is shared widely across entertainment categories, with no single neighbor or subcategory dominating — a signature of a fandom-oriented audience that moves fluidly across music, scripted drama, and genre media.
