curl https://burnaboystats.com/api/v1/chartsEvery response uses the same envelope — the data, plus where it came from and when it last changed.

Wizkid”, “with Stromae”) names the guests on a release he leads, any other value names the release's own acts with the lead act first, and a release with no guest reads “Burna Boy”.
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.

The exception is a country that publishes no non-airplay national chart at all — there the airplay chart is the only one there is.
