What stands out in this dataset

QQ Music contributed the largest number of topic-day records (648). A topic appearing on several days is counted once on each observed day in this comparison. This measures collection coverage rather than platform popularity.

Among non-music records, Xiaomi SU9 LUX Trademark Enters Preliminary Approval Announcement Stage; New Car May Target the Executive Luxury Flagship Market appeared on 2 recorded days. Different source listings can describe the same event, so topic records are not a count of unique real-world events.
