“Titles filling half” is the one to read twice. Uruguay needs 14 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 →

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.

The busiest year here was 2023 (35 places) and the quietest 2022 (19). ⚠ 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.
