Will Muse from Meta be #1 Free App in the US Apple App Store on October 30?

Analysis

The US iPhone Top Apps chart on apps.the official source, read at 19:04 UTC on October 27, showed Muse from Meta at No. 3, with TikTok Pro - Events at No. 1. That is the current reading of the deciding measure. It is not the Friday, October 30 reading, which is the one that counts. Muse has held the top spot before. One report from October 21 said it stayed first in the US App Store almost every day after launch, apart from October 19, when a streaming app called Kick briefly displaced it. The same report said Muse regained the lead the next day. A separate report dated October 20 said Muse had slipped to second place, after earlier spending 12 consecutive days at the top. That history is why a return to first is not out of the question. The app also drew attention for its download pace, with Sensor Tower reporting 10 million US downloads in 40 days, according to one account. But those are older readings and describe past strength rather than the chart on Friday. The lean toward Muse not being first rests mainly on the fresh reading, which has it in third behind a different leader. Chart positions can move quickly, so the position is not fixed. The evidence I have does not explain what is driving the current leader. Watch the chart in the days before Friday, October 30. If Muse climbs back to second or first, the picture changes quickly.
