How does a Timespace map work?

You can look at the latest trends (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, etc) or look into the past.* Default is all-time.

You can see trends for any nation. Default is Global.

* – Past searches work from Summer Solstice, June 2019 onward. For songs posted before Beta, all Ups are assigned to the post date of the music. In Beta, the Time Machine will function with the time of the Up, and show trends down to 5-minutes, the length of one time unit.
