What is different about the Irish chart
The Irish chart takes from both larger neighbours: about 33 shows per hundred are shared with the US, and BBC Radio 4 held 9 of the top 100 in both Society & Culture and Science on 10 September. RTÉ Kids held 7 of Kids & Family. A cover here is likely to be flanked by British public radio branding on one side and American network branding on the other.
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 Ireland right now.
32 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 21.6. The longest is "The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown and Adam Grant", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
25 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.
30 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 70 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
