Coverage and availability
This issue uses the verified weekly chart period ending 29 October 2026. 55 of 55 configured national markets loaded successfully. The worldwide chart is validated separately.
No configured markets were unavailable from the upstream source for this issue.
The fetch completed at 2026-10-31T01:26:38Z. The worldwide chart and 54 national markets are required to validate for the same current period. India is checked every run: if its chart is valid but stale, India is visibly unavailable for this period and excluded from all calculations and rankings. It is restored automatically when current and valid. This named exception does not allow failures in other markets or invalid data in India. No older chart is reused.
