Status is a chart fact: New #1 = the #1 changed since the previous day’s chart (on 2026-08-18 vs 2026-08-17); #1 for N days = the longest current run of the same #1 on our daily snapshots; Delayed = that country’s chart wasn’t refreshed in 26+ hours. “Landed” and “Gate” are SoundBorders Air theme words — a fictional theme, not an airline.
