first of all, you should distinguish between the pop music list and the mv list, which are two different things, one is just music, and the other is the mv list, which is different. One reflects the sales force of pure music, and the other reflects the sales force of mv. In addition, the list of pop music is not the list of itunes music, which also includes jazz chart, blues chart, folk chart, etc. pop music is a part of this list of itunes music, and pop music is also a kind of music with the widest audience.

iTunes can't reflect all sales, but mainly reflects the taste of apple users, and how many people can be represented depends on the proportion of apple clients in each region. Because an apple account can be bought once, no one can brush this list, not that it can't be brushed, but of course it can be brushed, but it's not necessary. And because this thing costs money, it really represents the commercial value of this work, that is, how many people are willing to spend money to buy it. It is said that Android client can also use itunes, but it is very troublesome, so strictly speaking, itunes does not necessarily represent only apple users. Of course, let's assume that this only represents apple users. Mv and music are not necessarily charged in different countries, and some countries and regions are free, but the data will only be recorded once for an account, and there is no such thing as a click-through rate. Of course, if you want to brush this, you can switch to an apple account, but this list is meaningless in itself, so no one will do such a thing.
