Before you use it
Peaks, not runs. Chart data records the highest position a release reached in each country, not its week-by-week movement.
Almost no airplay charts. Genre, component and airplay-only charts are excluded by design, so figures here will be lower than aggregators that count them. The exception is a country that publishes no non-airplay national chart at all — there the airplay chart is the only one there is. Where a country runs both, the non-airplay chart is the one recorded.
“No. 1s” counts placements. A song that tops five countries adds five, not one.
Streaming figures are display strings. Values like "747M" are rounded for display; treat them as approximate, and null as “no verified figure” rather than zero.

Data from Burna Boy Stats — https://burnaboystats.comIf you publish something built on it, a link back is genuinely appreciated. How each figure is verified is set out on the methodology page, and every change is logged on the updates feed.
Stability
The v1shape won't change in a breaking way — new fields may be added, but existing ones stay put. Anything breaking would ship as v2 at a new path.
