Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Trump's U.S. Steel decision may come later than expected - Axios
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Audible – ~550,000
Questlove on Sly Stone: ‘His Artistry Came With a Burden’ - Rolling Stone
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Literie – ~19,000
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Margaret Cho: Ellen DeGeneres 'Not Nice to Me for Most of My Career' - Variety
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
