AI image and video generation apps saw the broadest growth over 30 days. Hailuo AI reached US #4 (+35) and DE #12 (+30), Momo: AI Photo & Video Maker reached US grossing #7 (+37), and AI Photo - AI Video Generator reached GB #1 (+36). Today's new entries are concentrated in HR art-and-design and entertainment grossing, while all entries appearing simultaneously in two countries remain in the lower ranks.

New Entries

Of the apps absent from the previous report (2026-10-17) that entered the charts today, 10 appeared in two countries at the same time. None appeared in three or more countries. All ranked 26th or lower, so they are still early lower-rank signals. Three notable pairs are as follows.

• android-weather: Safety tips (DE #40, JP #41) and NERV Disaster Prevention (HR #40, DE #42). Two Japanese disaster-prevention apps have appeared side by side on European charts.
• android-video-players: Pollo AI (JP #45, KR #45).
• android-art-and-design: Tripo - AI 3D Model Generator (DE #34, GB #44).

Among high-ranking single-chart entries, 1DM+ entered JP tools paid at #1, Kalmeda Tinnitus-App entered DE medical grossing at #4, and Adobe Express entered HR art-and-design at #4. In HR entertainment grossing, five apps entered at once: Tipsy Chat #8, Apple TV #16, PolyBuzz #18, zeta #19, and KakaoPage #20.

Sharp Monthly Rises (Baseline Date: 2026-09-18)

The baseline is 30 days ago, the earliest collection date in the archive. There is not yet a full month of data.

• The biggest rises were GALERIA (DE shopping #3, +42) and Playout (US lifestyle #4, +41).
• AI image and video apps are all growing. Momo (US grossing #7, +37), AI Photo (GB #1, +36), Hailuo AI (US #4 +35, DE #12 +30), Nexus (DE #5, +34), and Framly (HR #11, +32).
• In JP game, Paranoize (#3, +38), Wizardry Variants Daphne (grossing #10, +32), and Genshin Impact (grossing #13, +31) rose.
• Some apps were absent on the baseline date but are now highly ranked. Arknights is JP grossing #1, while Reddice Classic Analog M1 is #1 in watch-face in both DE and GB.

Trends by Tier

Tier	held	new	|Δ|
top (ranks 1–10)	96%	0%	0.5
mid (ranks 11–30)	92%	1%	1.6
bottom (ranks 31–45)	81%	11%	2.2

The top ranks are almost fixed, with turnover concentrated in the lower ranks. Because developer values are missing, it is not possible to determine whether a small number of developers dominate the top ranks.

Trends by Country

New entries stand out sharply in HR, with 120. The other five countries have 67–76 each. Top-10 held is 95–97%, meaning the top ranks are stable in every country. Fifteen apps, including WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Duolingo, and Instagram, are in the top 10 across all six countries, with no turnover at the top anywhere.

Trends by Category

• The following three categories have the most turnover.
  • entertainment: 38 new entries, top-10 held 91%
  • game: 33 new entries
  • art-and-design: 32 new entries, top-10 held 90%
• sports also has top-10 held of 90%, with DAZN (GB #4, +20) rising.
• The following four categories are quiet.
  • video-players: top-10 held 100%
  • social: 99%
  • weather: 99%
  • comics: 3 new entries

Key Findings

1. There were 10 new entries appearing simultaneously in two countries, all ranked 26th or lower

There were 10 cases of same-day entry across multiple countries, the strongest signal, but each appeared in only two countries and ranked 26–45. In android-weather, the Japanese disaster-prevention apps Safety tips (DE #40, JP #41) and NERV Disaster Prevention (HR #40, DE #42) appeared side by side. This is still at an early stage as an emerging trend.

Confidence: Medium

2. AI image and video generation apps rose sharply over 30 days across multiple countries

Hailuo AI: Image&Video Maker is #4 in the US (+35) and #12 in DE (+30). Momo reached US grossing #7 (+37), AI Photo - AI Video Generator reached GB #1 (+36), Nexus rose to DE #5 (+34), and Framly rose to HR #11 (+32). The same genre is growing across countries.

Confidence: High

3. Five AI chat and story apps entered HR entertainment grossing simultaneously

Tipsy Chat #8, Apple TV #16, PolyBuzz #18, zeta #19, and KakaoPage #20 entered on the same day. Because this is simultaneous turnover within a single chart, it may be due to chart-side recalculation. It needs to be checked whether they remain the next day.

Confidence: Medium

4. High-ranking entries on individual charts: JP's 1DM+ #1 and HR's Adobe Express #4

1DM+: Browser & Video Download entered JP tools paid at #1. Adobe Express is HR art-and-design #4. Kalmeda Tinnitus-App is DE medical grossing #4, but this chart is among sources with incomplete collection.

Confidence: Medium

5. Top-grossing JP game rankings shifted over 30 days

Arknights was absent on the baseline date and is now JP grossing #1. Wizardry Variants Daphne rose to #10 (+32), and Genshin Impact 6th Anniversary rose to #13 (+31). On the free chart, Paranoize is #3 (+38). However, JP/android-game/TOP_GROSSING is among sources with incomplete collection.

Confidence: Low

6. The top ranks are fixed, with turnover concentrated in the lower ranks

Ranks 1–10 have held 96%, new 0%, and |Δ| 0.5. Ranks 31–45 have held 81%, new 11%, and |Δ| 2.2. New apps are entering from the lower ranks.

Confidence: High

7. New entries stand out in HR at 120, while other countries have 67–76

HR has roughly 1.6–1.8 times as many new entries as other countries. The activity is centered on art-and-design (Draw Anime - AR Tracing App #6, +27) and entertainment. Its top-10 held rate is 95%, the lowest among the six countries.

Confidence: Medium

8. The shared top 10 across six countries remains made up of established apps

Fifteen apps, including ChatGPT, Duolingo, Instagram, X, and Spotify, are in the top 10 across all six countries. Among AI apps, Suno (HR #1 to JP #6) and Google Flow (KR #1 to GB #7) also rank highly in all six countries.

Confidence: High

9. Turnover is highest in entertainment, game, and art-and-design; video-players is stable

There are 38 new entries in entertainment, 33 in game, and 32 in art-and-design. Art-and-design and sports have top-10 held rates of 90%, the lowest among categories. In contrast, video-players is at 100%, while social, weather, and maps-and-navigation are at 99%, with almost no movement.

Confidence: High

10. Apps absent on the baseline date are #1 in watch-face in DE and GB

Reddice Classic Analog M1 is #1 in watch-face free in both DE and GB. PER23 Digital Watch Face is #1 in both GB personalization paid and watch-face paid.

Confidence: Medium

Recommended Actions

• Create comparison and how-to content today for the AI image and video generation genre (Hailuo AI, Momo, Nexus), targeting the US, GB, and DE.
• Investigate why Japanese disaster-prevention apps (NERV, Safety tips) appeared in DE and HR, and make it a brief report if they remain tomorrow.
• Confirm whether the five simultaneous entries in HR entertainment grossing continue the next day before considering an AI chat feature.
• Recheck top-grossing JP game rankings (Arknights #1) in the next complete collection, as collection is incomplete.
• Fix missing developer data so that concentration among top-ranked developers can be evaluated from the next report onward.

Data Quality Notes

The target date covers 362 charts and 13,325 rows. Of 389 charts targeted for collection, 27 could not be collected. Of the 362 charts, 329 could be compared with the previous report. The remaining 33 charts have no previous data, so rows in them are not counted as new entries. Six of the most recent runs completed only partially, with 33 collections failing. Sources with incomplete collection include many TOP_GROSSING charts in DE/HR, JP/android-game/TOP_GROSSING, and DE/android-medical/TOP_GROSSING. This lowers confidence in observations concerning Kalmeda, Arknights, Wizardry, and Genshin. Developer is missing in 81,083 records, so concentration among top-ranked developers cannot be evaluated. The baseline date for the monthly comparison is 2026-09-18 (30 days ago), the earliest collection date in the archive.
