Video playbook
What spreads on Douyin first is a lyric line, not a title. Search the title alone and you miss the song.
Music playbook
Ranks are the platforms' own positions. Chart first, video later is this week's order, not a rule.
Method note: The sample is 9 of the 57 named tracks this week, not all of them; two dropped off a day later, so the order does not hold for every song.
