Canadian chart

Science podcast covers in Canada

Science covers are usually one bright flat colour and a single drawn object. Below is Apple’s current top 100 for Science in Canada, in chart order, with somewhere to put your own cover and see how it holds up beside them.

Looked after by Sleeve, a record sleeve.

Right now the top three are Ologies with Alie Ward, Radiolab and Quirks and Quarks. Those three covers are the ones a Canadian listener browsing Science 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.

Apple’s current top 100 for Science in Canada, in chart order.Cover art belongs to the shows and is served from Apple’s own servers. Every one links to that podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Other genres in Canada

What is different about the Canadian chart

Canada has the highest overlap with the US chart of any store here: an average of 64 shows per hundred across the 18 genres are the same ones charting in America. In practice that means a Canadian cover is placed between two American ones with American production budgets. The exception is News, where CBC held 13 of the top 100 on 10 September.

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 Canada right now.

32 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 23.2. The longest is "Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas", which is not a name that fits in a list row.

34 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.

BBC World Service holds 4 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.

66 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 34 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
