Worldwide feeds · not markets
A source's own worldwide chart. These are feeds, not places, so they are kept out of the market count above.

City pickups
City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
