operas among female viewers ages 18-34.

Days of Our Lives 
Passions 
General Hospital  
The Young and the Restless
 One Life to Live 
The Bold and the Beautiful

All My Children
Guiding Light 

World this information be of your interest?

Thanks,

I'm afraid not - I'm really looking for a 'top ten' of the most
watched soap operas in the world in order of viewing figures. I don't
know if anyone has ever compiled such a list.

However, I would be happy to accept the following information instead
if it is easier to obtain:
The top soap and the average viewing figures for that soap in
UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, USA, Canada, and Japan
