Ranked by momentum: how fast a song is gaining ground across markets. Computed from the velocity ledger every morning and published exactly as computed. 25 of 50 shown.
What moved this week, and why.
The records that climbed, what broke in one place first, what came back. One email on Friday, assembled from the week's charts, with a pressing when there is one.

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.
Records ten years old or more, still charting in fifteen markets or more. Ranked on how much of the world carries them and how much of the time they have actually been there, counted in captured days. The age comes from MusicBrainz and never from the ISRC: a reissue carries a young registration, which would print a false age on exactly the rows this chart is for. A record that went away and came back is here too, and its row says so.
Records the world is meeting slowed or sped up rather than as released. A record and an edit of it chart as two unrelated singles everywhere else; here they are one release family, and these are the ones where the edit is doing the travelling. Ranked by how much of the family's chart presence is on the edit, so a record met mostly through its edit outranks one whose edit is a sideshow.
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.
Ubaba wam (Orchestral)Beekay Monalayzzar, METT4LIQ-151, UDUBE & Simah Nation59.4asked about in 8 markets, best rank #2Heard everywhere, known nowhere. Songs already on streaming charts whose recognition has been outrunning their streaming for weeks: people keep hearing them in the world and asking what they are, and the burn has lasted too long to be a release-week campaign. Ranked by how long the burn has run and how hot the city charts are, never by how many markets.
