Chart rankings
Your rank history in one country and category, over time.
What this page is for
The Charts page shows where you stand today. This page shows how you got there — your full rank history in a single country and category.
Reach it by clicking any row on the Charts page.
What you'll see
The page is headed by the country and category you're looking at, with two key figures:
- Current Rank — where your show sits right now.
- Best Rank — the highest you've ever reached in this chart. This is your record, and the number to beat.
Below that, Rank over time charts every position PodAnalyst has recorded for you in this chart.
Reading the curve
Remember the scale is inverted from the numbers: a line rising on the chart means your rank number falling, which is what you want.
Shapes worth recognising:
- A sharp spike upward, then a settle — a release bump. New episodes push you up the chart, then you drift back as the chart refreshes. Completely normal.
- A slow, sustained climb — the good one. This usually means steady audience growth rather than a single push.
- A cliff — something changed. A drop in release frequency, a long gap between episodes, or increased competition in the category.
- A long flat line — you're holding a position. Stable, but if you want to move, it'll take a deliberate push.
Why track a single chart
Looking at one country and category at a time is how you find patterns that the summary table hides. A show might be flat overall while quietly climbing in one specific chart — that's the one worth leaning into, because it's proof the show works for a particular audience.
It's also the honest way to judge a promotion or a guest appearance. Pick the chart beforehand, then watch whether the line actually moves.
