Music Charts Tracker: Apple Music Ranks by Country
Apple Music top songs and albums charts for any country, up to 100 ranks per chart, from Apple's official feeds. Scheduled runs add rank movement: previous rank, change, new entries, artist drop-offs. For artists, labels and playlist marketers. Keyless.
Apple Music charts are different in every country, and they move every day. This actor pulls the official most-played songs and albums charts for any list of countries in one run, up to 100 ranks per chart. Schedule it and every run also tells you what moved: previous rank, change, new entries, artist drop-offs. No login, no API key, no subscription.
Chart analytics platforms charge $10 to $140 a month for dashboards built on this data. Here you pay per row and the first rows of every run are free.

Input
- Countries: any Apple storefront codes (
us, gb, de, br, jp, in, ng, ke, ...) - Chart types: top songs, top albums, or both
- Chart depth: up to 100 ranks per chart
- Track only these artists: give Apple artist ids and get only their entries; artists with no chart entry return a free
rank: nullrow, so "not charting" costs nothing - Compare with previous run: keeps rank history between runs for movement fields
5 countries x both charts x top 100 = 1,000 rows in a single run.
Pricing
Pay per result: $0.003 per chart row. First 2 rows of every run are free. Tracked artists missing from a chart are always free rows.
Following one artist across 20 countries daily costs at most $0.06 a day even when they chart everywhere. A daily top-100 songs sweep of 10 countries is $3 a run.
Typical uses
- Artists and managers: track your releases across every market, daily, with movement.
- Labels and distributors: catch a track breaking in one territory before it spreads.
- Playlist and TikTok music marketers: risers by country are the pitch list.
- Music journalists and chart-watch accounts: automated movement feeds per market.
- A&R research: which genres and artists dominate which storefronts.
Scheduling
Run it daily on an Apify schedule with "Compare with previous run" on. Rank history is kept per chart in a named key-value store, so movement fields are computed automatically. Consume rows via the API, webhooks, or the Google Sheets integration.
Data notes
Data comes from Apple's official public chart feeds and reflects chart state at run time. Apple refreshes charts throughout the day; movement fields compare against your own previous run, so a stable schedule gives the cleanest deltas.
