Other genres in South Africa
What is different about the South African chart
About 39 shows per hundred also chart in the US. The store is unusually spread out: no publisher dominated any genre on 10 September the way the BBC does in the UK, with the biggest single holding being 8 of Sports. That makes it a chart where an individual cover has more room to be the distinctive one in view.
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 South Africa right now.
25 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 21.2. The longest is "The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown and Adam Grant", which is not a name that fits in a list row.
21 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 4 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.
42 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 58 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
