The second axis
Ranked by concentration, not breadth: what is breaking hard in a few markets before the world has noticed. The chart above rewards a song for spreading; this one rewards a song for not having spread yet.

The third axis
Ranked by movement weighted against the age of the recording. A new single climbing is what new singles do; a 1981 record reversing its trajectory is an event, and something caused it. The chart above has no notion of age and structurally cannot tell those apart. The record also has to have gone somewhere: one charting every day is holding, not returning.

The fourth axis
Ranked by how many markets are asking what a song is. Shazam is a chart of NOT KNOWING: every row is somebody who heard something and had to ask. It moves on the day of the event rather than two days later, which makes it the earliest signal here.
