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.
Your image is read by your own browser and never sent anywhere. No account, no upload, no limit. Add it once and every view below uses it.

What is different about the American chart
The US store is the one every other chart borrows from, and the most contested. It is also where the house styles are set: when a genre has a convention, this is usually the chart it was established in. The top publisher in a given genre here holds seven to nine of the hundred slots, so an independent cover is not competing with one network, it is competing with several at once.
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 States right now.
26 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 21.5. The longest is "Creative Entrepreneur: A Podcast For Business Growth and Trending News", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
25 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.
iHeartPodcasts holds 7 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.
25 of these 100 also chart in the United Kingdom. The other 75 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
