Chart Races

Animated bars, lines and rankings that show who leads, and when.

The idea

Race charts animate a ranking through time: bars reorder as values change, lines overtake each other and bump charts trace each item's rank. They turn a long table of years into a story people watch to the end. Keep the number of items modest so the leader changes stay readable.

Where to use it

  • Company, brand or country rankings over decades
  • Sports standings across a season
  • Social-media and video-ready data stories
  • Sales teams racing through the quarter
