Alicia and Haniya over time
Alicia and Haniya appear together in 2 published lists, across 34 years of shared records. Alicia held the stronger position in more years in 2 of them, Haniya in 0.
The order between them changed and held in one of those lists — a change in that published list, never a claim that one name displaced the other.
Alicia reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 2 of those lists, and Haniya in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.
