What stands out in this dataset
QQ Music contributed the largest number of topic-day records (1,979). 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, Which Chinese Words Appear Native but Are Actually Transliterations? appeared on 6 recorded days. Different source listings can describe the same event, so topic records are not a count of unique real-world events.
