“Titles filling half” is the one to read twice. Saudi Arabia needs 34 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 →

Squid Game is the largest single title here, holding 6.7% of Saudi Arabia's Korean places by itself. Places counts one title on one weekly list; a title can hold a place for many weeks. Peak is the highest position it reached.

Both years are 52 weeks long and each week gives out 20 places, so the two columns are counted the same way. Across all 93 markets, 70 rose and 22 fell.
What this cannot tell you. A falling share can mean fewer Korean titles charted or that other titles pushed them out, and a chart position cannot tell those apart. That is why the place counts and the distinct-title counts are printed beside every share.
| Year | Korean chart places |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 57 |
| 2022 | 125 |
| 2023 | 162 |
| 2024 | 114 |
| 2025 | 125 |
| 2026 | 86 |
The busiest year here was 2023 (162 places) and the quietest 2021 (57). ⚠ 2021 begins on 2021-07-04 and the final year ends on 2026-08-16, so those two are partial years and cannot be compared with the rest.
