Cassian and Reign over time
Cassian and Reign appear together in 1 published list, across 13 years of shared records. Reign held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Cassian 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.
Cassian reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Reign 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.
