British chart

True Crime podcast covers in the United Kingdom

True Crime covers are dark, muted and photographic, which is why one white one wins. Below is Apple’s current top 100 for True Crime in the United Kingdom, in chart order, with somewhere to put your own cover and see how it holds up beside them.

Looked after by Sleeve, a record sleeve.

Right now the top three are RedHanded, Casefile True Crime and In The Dark. Those three covers are the ones a British listener browsing True Crime sees first, so they are the fairest thing to hold yours up against.

Your cover in the British True Crime chart

Add a JPEG or PNG and move it up or down the ranking. The library row draws it at 55 pixels, which is where somebody meets it first, and the same artwork carries across to the browse wall, the size ladder and the file requirements without being added again. The image never leaves your browser: there is no upload, no account and no limit.

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 is different about the British chart

Broadcasters hold more of this chart than any other in this set. Counted on 10 September, BBC Radio 4 held 11 of the 100 Science slots and 7 of Society & Culture, Sky News held 7 of News, and The Athletic and BBC Radio 5 Live held 8 each in Sports. Those covers follow a brand system, which means they are consistent, restrained, and almost always wordmark-led. An independent cover with a face on it is doing something visibly different from its neighbours here.

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 the United Kingdom right now.

31 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 21.7. The longest is "My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark", which is not a name that fits in a list row.

33 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.

Always True Crime holds 6 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.

51 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 49 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
