How it is measured
Episodes a name came up in each month, counted the same way as on its name page. A name is rising when it came up in at least two episodes this month and in more episodes than last month, ranked by the size of the gain. Each name links to its page.
Rising in October
The latest full month, October 2026, against September 2026. Bars show the gain in episodes.
Rising so far in November
November 2026 is not over, so this is 4 episodes so far against the whole of October 2026. Bars show the gain.
The data
Every month since February 2026, one row per name: episodes this month, episodes last month, the change and its place in the rising list.
