Time windows
Why 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month views can feel so different
Shorter windows favor recent spikes. Longer windows reward consistency. That is why a song can dominate your 3 month chart but disappear from your 12 month chart, while a quieter long-term favorite can climb over time.
Point 1
3 months is best for recency, sudden obsessions, and current listening eras.
Point 2
6 months usually gives the best balance between momentum and stability.
Point 3
12 months smooths out short bursts and makes consistency matter more.
