Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
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:

Audible – ~550,000
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)

NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
