New Zealand chart

Science podcast covers in New Zealand

Science covers are usually one bright flat colour and a single drawn object. Below is Apple’s current top 100 for Science in New Zealand, 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 The Rest Is Science, Boring History for Sleep and Radiolab. Those three covers are the ones a New Zealand 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.

What is different about the New Zealand chart

About 37 shows per hundred are shared with the US chart, and a large part of the rest comes from Australia and Britain rather than from home. RNZ held 9 of News on 10 September, ABC Australia 7 of Kids & Family and BBC Radio 4 7 of Fiction. New Zealand ties Australia for the shortest average show name here at 23 characters.

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 New Zealand right now.

36 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 23.6. 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.

32 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 Radio 4 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.

41 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 59 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
