Science covers, and how yours sits among them

Science has the cleanest visual convention of any chart here, and it is one that happens to work at every size.

Looked after by Sleeve, a record sleeve.

Put your cover in the Science chart

This is Apple’s current top 100 for Science in the United States, the largest of the ten stores on this site. Add your artwork once and it shows up in all four views: in a library row at 55 pixels, on the browse wall, at every size on its own, and against Apple’s file requirements. If you publish elsewhere, the other nine charts are linked below and each one is genuinely different.

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.

Science in ten countries

Each of these is a separate Apple chart with its own top hundred. The six covers shown are the current top six in that store. Follow one to see the whole hundred and to place your cover in it.

Other genres

What Science covers actually do

Radiolab is red with a wordmark. Ologies is a set of small drawings on white. Hidden Brain is a face rendered flat. Science Friday is orange. Big Ideas Lab is blue with one shape. Where other genres photograph a host, Science draws an object and puts it on a solid colour.

At 55 pixels

One object on flat colour is close to the ideal thumbnail, which is why this genre gets away with it. The failure mode is the drawing being a diagram: several small elements that were legible in the brief and are a texture at 55 pixels.
