How Asia Took Over the Global Math Rankings (2003-2025) 📐
Why it spread
This post spread because a slope chart on how Asia took over the global math rankings from 2003 to 2025 combined an unusual chart type with polished design, drawing 20,023 views, 163 likes, 46 reposts, 7 quotes and 42 saves.
What worked
- The slope chart form was an unusual chart type for this subject, which made the shift in top countries in PISA math scores stand out.
- The design polish was high and the self labelling was high, so the chart explained itself without extra text.
- The post was branded, showed a source line, came from an account in the top quarter for source reach, and had an above average quote rate.
What to borrow
We could take a ranking that changes over time in our own data and show it as a slope chart with clear self labelling and a visible source line.
Careful
Do not copy the exact framing or assume the same result, since the spread also depended on the account's reach and an above average quote rate, and the numbers here are modest next to the view count.
