“Titles filling half” is the one to read twice. Malta needs 12 titles to cover half of its Korean chart places. A market that needs few is not a smaller market — it is a market where the same titles return. A market that needs many rotates through more of the catalogue. Neither is better; they are different questions. The same figure for every market →

The busiest year here was 2024 (31 places) and the quietest 2026 (13). ⚠ 2021 begins on 2021-07-04 and the final year ends on 2026-07-26, so those two are partial years and cannot be compared with the rest.
