Recordings are a bounded selection, and playlist and radio tables may show only part of the available results. A first check establishes a baseline; a later observed change is not proof of when an event began or what caused audience growth.
Playlist positions concern individual songs. Monitored radio plays are not total radio audience. Streams, listeners and playlist subscribers are different measures.
