Data Quality Notes
All 468 target charts were collected, with zero missing. All 468/468 charts could also be compared with the previous collection on 2026-10-23; none could not be compared. The monthly baseline date, 2026-09-24, is the oldest collection date in the archive, and the data states that it does not yet contain a full month of history. Please interpret monthly gains as changes over approximately 30 days. Missing ratings are reported as 228,571, far exceeding the 45,699 rows analyzed. This likely indicates an inconsistency in the aggregation method or definition, so ratings were not used in this analysis.
