How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?

Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Audible – ~550,000
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Astronomers finally figured out how Pluto cools itself - Boy Genius Report
Literie – ~19,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Don't miss the half-lit first quarter moon rise tonight — Here's what to look for - Space
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking - Ars Technica
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
