Right now the top three are Sherlock Holmes Short Stories, Jane Austen Stories and MSA. Those three covers are the ones a South African listener browsing Fiction sees first, so they are the fairest thing to hold yours up against.

Add a JPEG or PNG and move it up or down the ranking. The library row draws it at 55 pixels, which is where somebody meets it first, and the same artwork carries across to the browse wall, the size ladder and the file requirements without being added again. The image never leaves your browser: there is no upload, no account and no limit.

What is different about the South African chart
About 39 shows per hundred also chart in the US. The store is unusually spread out: no publisher dominated any genre on 10 September the way the BBC does in the UK, with the biggest single holding being 8 of Sports. That makes it a chart where an individual cover has more room to be the distinctive one in view.
Counted, in this hundred
Off the same chart drawn above, which is in Apple’s order: number one is the cover doing the most work in South Africa right now.
30 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 22.3. The longest is "Chilling Tales for Dark Nights — A Horror Fiction Anthology and Scary Stories Series Podcast", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
39 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.
Bloody FM holds 6 of the 100 places. A publisher with that many shows in one chart is running a house style, so several of the covers you are placed against are variations of one another.
49 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 51 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
