Society & Culture covers, and how yours sits among them

This is the chart where the most confident covers have no picture on them at all.

Put your cover in the Society & Culture chart

This is Apple’s current top 100 for Society & Culture 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.

What Society & Culture covers actually do

This American Life, Stuff You Should Know and Freakonomics are red or white rectangles with a name on them, and they are at the top. Around them sits the interview-show convention: a host photographed against a plain wall. Behind the Bastards and Miss Understood use illustration and photography respectively, and both are legible because the field behind them is flat.

At 55 pixels

A wordmark-only cover lives or dies on how many words it has. Two or three short ones at high contrast still read at 55 pixels. Six do not, and this genre has plenty of six-word names.
