Recommended Actions

• We recommend making the simultaneous growth of soccer streaming apps (SIR TV, Yacine TV, and Ryady) across DE, US, GB, HR, and JP today’s feature. Alongside UEFA Champions League Official’s rise in DE (+18), check the relationship with match schedules using tomorrow’s data.
• We recommend treating the entry of Chaos Zero Nightmare and NTE: Neverness to Everness into the JP and KR grossing charts as news about new games, and tracking their rankings for several days.
• The growing presence of AI video generation apps (Nexus, VifunAI, Orvani, and Movify) across countries could be a candidate for a comparison or roundup article.
• Because CloverPit and PXPlay: Remote Play are affected by partially collected sources, verify their rankings in the next complete collection before featuring them.
• Fix the TOP_GROSSING collection failures for DE and HR, and fill in missing developer data. It is currently not possible to determine whether developers dominate the top ranks.

Data Quality Notes

Today’s collection contains 374 charts / 13,749 rows. Of the 393 charts in scope, 19 could not be collected. A further 237 scheduled charts whose sources do not publish data were excluded. Of the 374 charts, 353 could be compared with the previous run on 2026-10-21; rows from the remaining 21 charts were not counted as new entries. Five of the most recent runs completed only partially, and 26 collection attempts failed. Partially collected sources include most of DE and HR TOP_GROSSING, GB/android-game/TOP_PAID, JP/android-game/TOP_PAID, KR/android-tools/TOP_PAID, and GB/android-android-wear/TOP_PAID. Accordingly, GB #5 for The House of Tesla, CloverPit in JP, KR #4 for PXPlay, and MD307 in GB should be interpreted with caution. developer and ratingCount are missing in 67,662 records each, making developer concentration impossible to analyze. rating is also missing in 1,435 records. The baseline date of 2026-09-22 is the oldest collection date in the archive, so there is not yet a full month of data.
