What is different about the British chart
Broadcasters hold more of this chart than any other in this set. Counted on 10 September, BBC Radio 4 held 11 of the 100 Science slots and 7 of Society & Culture, Sky News held 7 of News, and The Athletic and BBC Radio 5 Live held 8 each in Sports. Those covers follow a brand system, which means they are consistent, restrained, and almost always wordmark-led. An independent cover with a face on it is doing something visibly different from its neighbours here.
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 the United Kingdom right now.
36 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 24.6. The longest is "Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
22 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.
The Ringer holds 3 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.
40 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 60 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
