How these numbers work
- Counts only current gear on published creator and product pages, so every figure can be clicked through.
- Each creator counts once per product, however many sources mention it.
- Lists leave out one-offs: a product needs two or more creators to rank, and a category needs two or more to name a leader.
- “Primary sources” means the creator's own statement or a brand partnership. Evidence age uses the source's own date where we have it.
- Nothing is estimated. These are the creators we track, not every creator.
