A few callouts this week:

She-Ra returns to the chart, replacing Hololive.
Last week, i was worried about Supergirl leaving the chart, now it's back in the top 5. (I'd love to suggest Week In Review readers take credit for the jump, but it's too soon: my posts go up a week after the end of the chart-week I'm reporting on, so that I still have time to download and crunch the data even if I get busy or AO3 is having technical trouble.)
Hazbin Hotel celebrates 70 consecutive weeks on the chart. Owl House reaches an impressive 250 consecutive weeks.

A few callouts this week:

Great week for Coronation Street, which shoots up to rank 6 in its best-ever chart appearance.
Murder Drones, Hey Duggee, and Hololive are all back after brief absences. They replace Dandy's World, The 100, and Wheel of Time (whose inaugural chart run lasted three weeks).
Chart anniversaries: Game of Thrones has been on the chart for 60 consecutive weeks (of its 274 total chart appearances). RWBY reaches 420 consecutive chart-weeks. Supergirl reaches 490 consecutive weeks, but skates in at rank 15, its worst performance since 2015. I admit to having my fingers crossed that the Girl of Steel makes it to 500 chart-weeks, because that would be cool.
Speaking of things I think are cool: AO3 just reported the milestone of 15 million fanworks. If my all-time works tally above is to be believed, that means that 5.9% of all works on AO3 ever have been works tagged F/F with at least one ship containing canonically non-male fictional characters. I'd always like to see more, of course, but that's worth celebrating, so let's.
