Note: The German Monarchs Family Tree has already sold out!

I am so glad one of my charts was mentioned! My chart was number 7 in the Top 10. I enjoyed making that one in particular, as I was really ecstatic about finding my connections to the Bourbons.

Thanks for the incredible shoutout Matt! Now that I’ve been officially named the “most prolific chart maker” my life’s work is complete.

In all seriousness though, I consider my Fictional Monarchs Timeline to be the worst chart I made this year. Out of all my charts I still have no clue how this one got so popular.

I realize that this might be a difficult one but I was wondering recently if anyone has thought of doing a chart the evolution of modern music and its origins.
Blues, jazz, folk, rock, punk, country, hip-hop etc, how they may have influenced each other and where they began to diverge. It could be really cool if there are any music scholars out there who might be interested in taking that on.
Just a thought.

@8:54 Pot-8-o's has got to be one of the greatest names to have ever existed.

[thomasdixon]

These are awesome, three cheers to their creators

Hope you're feeling better Matt, happy new year

[ISawABear]

Matt slowly writing himself out of a job by making this haha, but seriously it's impressive how close fans have gotten to the style of your work

[Matthew-rhei]

Congrats to everyone who was featured, well done and some truly quality charts. Happy to be a part of a fab community (even if some of you love memes :P). But must say Matt, no featuring for geust53's Families of Western Nobility :O, that chart is truly insane (me, Triplet and Gervais all in agreement there xD). Good to see you back and on the mend though :), hope geust53 gets a special video to itself, as it deserves it heh.

[GrifterE]

Great work everyone! Glad to hear you are feeling better Matt.

[irishdawn]

I love your charts wish I can see more behind the scenes demos hope you are doing well!

[blabible]

I love how each second of the video sound and image is intentional and full of dedication <3 but also slow, kind, warm

[jcortese]

Very happy to see the Welsh one winning! That was the one I immediately found most interesting -- llongyfarchiadau mawr!

[MRSYSTEM]

The alternative succession to English/British crown is interesting. Its nice to see it all on one chart.
Also the same with the German royals, its nice to see them too all on one chart (both HRE, Kings and Dukes)

[monsieurmarcusvipsaniusagrippa]

Cambrian Chronicles would love the welsh chart

[Charlie-phlezk]

Thank you. You've inspired me to create my own channel on charting!

[kwaitefuni]

Pretty cool!
I don't watch a lot of your content, so this was my first time seeing a yearly recap-style video.

[Т-ми]

Very cool that people made their own charts yes

[Jedindy]

SERIOUSLY, your channel has been a god-sent for my autistic mind. It’s very thought out and clear. I appreciate it especially as I research my family tree.

[charlieduke]

Im so excited for this episode, I look forward to it every year you do one.
