These variants may include remixes, live versions, acoustic renditions, or other officially released alternate versions of a track.<br /> <br /> King Warz manually categorizes variants based on specific criteria, ensuring accurate tracking of chart performance while maintaining the integrity of the main version. <br /> <br /> === Definition ===<br /> A song is designated as a &#039;&#039;&#039;variant&#039;&#039;&#039; if it meets one or more of the following conditions:<br /> * It is a remix, live performance, or alternate version of an already charting song.<br /> * It is included on a different album, EP, or special project, separate from the main release.<br /> <br /> === Chart Performance and Variants ===<br /> Variants function under a shared chart history with their main version but have specific rules governing their impact on the rankings:<br /> * If a variant achieves more streams than the original version in a given week, then the variant receives credit for that week’s chart position.<br /> * Variants and their main version share the same peak position, meaning if the variant reaches a new peak, the original version is automatically credited with the same peak.<br /> * Despite sharing a peak, certifications are independent, meaning a variant can receive a different certification from the original version based on its own total streams.<br /> <br /> For example, if the original version of &#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;[[Breathin]]&quot;&#039;&#039;&#039; by Ariana Grande peaks at #1, and later the live version (&#039;&#039;breathin - live&#039;&#039;) also reaches #1, both versions will officially share the #1 peak in chart history. However, if the live version gains more streams in a particular week, it will be the version that receives credit for that week.</div>
