Views gained

Views on the charts we tracked, counted on the day each chart was posted. A gap means we hold no chart from that week, not that they posted none.

Every chart, over time

Each dot is a chart: higher means more views, bigger means more likes than their usual post. Bright dots got 3x or more. Tap a dot to open it.

Views against the likes outlier

Right means more views; up means more likes than this account's usual post. The lines are their own medians, so every giant is judged against itself.
