How this chart is made
Every series title named in the week's industry press and social feeds is a candidate. A title counts only where it appears word for word in the source text, so a title a model invented cannot chart. Two terms then decide the order. The first is corroborated mentions in the seven days to 18 September 2026: how many separate outlets and feeds named the series, and then how many separate stories did. The second is search demand, meaning Google Search Console impressions for the series's own page on cherrybowl.io over the same seven days.
Only a series charts. A title the coverage describes as a film, an app, a platform's own brand, a company or a person is kept in our record of the week with the reason written beside it, and left off the chart. The reason has to be quoted from the coverage word for word, so nothing comes off this chart on a hunch.
Search impressions exist only for titles that have a page on cherrybowl.io. CherryBowl retired its per-series pages in June 2026, so no series on this chart has one, and the second term reads zero on every row this week. The search column says "no page" instead of a number. Nothing stands in for it: a platform hub's impressions belong to the hub, not to a series on it.
Where two series share both terms they share a position, and the shared positions carry an equals mark. Order inside a shared position is alphabetical, never a database row id.
This chart measures the conversation, not our catalogue. The CherryBowl catalogue records what we track, and it is not the industry. A series can lead this chart without appearing in the catalogue at all, and several do.
