What is different about the Australian chart
Roughly 43 shows in each hundred also chart in the US, so this store sits between the borrowed charts and the independent ones. ABC Australia is the strongest local presence by some distance: 9 of the top 100 in News, 9 in Society & Culture and 9 in Kids & Family when counted on 10 September. Australian show names are also among the shortest here, averaging 23 characters, which is genuinely helpful at thumbnail size.
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 Australia right now.
29 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 21.1. The longest is "Double A Chattery with Amanda Keller and Anita McGregor", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
29 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.
ABC Australia holds 10 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.
35 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 65 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
