What stands out in this dataset
QQ Music contributed the largest number of topic-day records (4,889). A topic appearing on several days is counted once on each observed day in this comparison. This measures collection coverage rather than platform popularity.
The most persistent topic record, The Continent, appeared on 15 recorded days. Different source listings can describe the same event, so topic records are not a count of unique real-world events.
