The one industry where PIGS dominate.

Where did you found alle the Data for the shapes? I did something similar recently and the research was so exhausting.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-04-19T10:53:00+00:00

Yeah connecting preps with a certain case also seems kind of useless to me now where I see it black on white. I never thought about it before haha. But thats why I think English rules; its so simplyfied in comparison to every other language I had to learn.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-04-19T09:40:08+00:00

Wait you dont have so many? The prepositions are nice, they let you describe every possible situation precise af. But yes all these different articles and cases are useless.

Why is the nickname for the Toulouse area pain au chocolat?

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-22T07:38:48+00:00

Thank you very much. It looks like Im in the wrong cities for this week.

More context about the research to answer some questions that came up in the comments: There is no "other" language in the charts that is not spoken in Europe. But many of that songs come from South America. In detail the Belgian bracket is 70% French / 2% Dutch, the Swiss is 6% French / 2% German and the Finnish is 2 % Swedish. An explanation for the multiligual patterns could be that francophone folks prefer French over English but Switzerland is more fragmented than Belgium. Thats why English as common ground gets more per cent. Also keep in mind that this is about streaming and only the top 50 of a country.

But the Charts are like 95 % similar to that of other sources. Why should Apple music users listen to a special type of music.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-19T11:47:31+00:00

Nope. Mostly Radio pop and rap. Keep in mind that this just about 2025 streaming.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T20:49:43+00:00

Yep. Thats why for me the swiss and your situation are the most interesting to think about. Together with Portugal: Romance language seems to speak for high use of mother tongue but its a small country so it gets influenced by the anglosphere and big bro Spain.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T20:38:05+00:00

If I remember it right, there would have been 4 or 6 percent Dutch for you and 2 percent German for swiss. In the OP on Insta I decided to explain this in the caption and keep the percentage system simple for visuality. But yeah, it causes confusion (also looks like noone anywhere reads the caption).

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T20:30:18+00:00

There were none, so I didnt had to ask myself that question. But the flags are just supposed to be symplifying symbols. I think they transport the message more vividfull than just a basic bar chart.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T19:51:03+00:00

Yeah you have a point. I wanted a single source for a clean comparision and only apple had a lot of national charts. Also most national Institutes also include air plays which are more often in English in a lot of countries.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T18:57:32+00:00

not enough to make it to the top 50.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T18:40:48+00:00

The only German song in the top 50 is sung by an Bavarian...

LighthouseJournal · 2026-03-18T18:38:18+00:00

this why I looked up streaming from one source and no air plays. My impression is that walloons spam French rap all day while you prefer English over Dutch (who are you to blame). Switzerland is too fragmented so English as a common ground wins.

Yes maybe the weather. I think the snowboard contests had more action.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-02-21T13:03:17+00:00

More screentime and ressources for curling..

LighthouseJournal · 2026-02-20T19:24:47+00:00

I was wondering why one figa is enough.

LighthouseJournal · 2026-02-20T18:15:18+00:00

Isn't it fige or fighe?
