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.
23 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 20. The longest is "The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown and Adam Grant", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
28 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.
RNZ 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.
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.
