“Adjusted” is the share pulled towards the catalogue with the weight of twenty releases: the top of any ranked list is optimistic — out of a hundred pairings one will show 35 % on 23 releases by luck alone — and the adjustment is what stops a small lucky group from leading. The band next to the raw share is the 95 % interval. This list is the same for everyone today; the second opinion is the description-based one on Pitch comps.
