How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Literie – ~19,000
Kanye “Ye” West Makes Brief Appearance at Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial - The Hollywood Reporter
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Audible – ~550,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
Founder of 23andMe buys back company out of bankruptcy auction - Ars Technica
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
'Materialists': Celine Song on Dating and Sex and the City's Influence - IndieWire
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
