The UK music chart app contains a field showing the country, the musician, or the group it originated from. Perhaps it would be interesting to know which countries have had more hits per head of population. It is easy to do this in Qlik Sense, and can be done directly with cloud deployed apps too.

First, within the app, open the Data Manager and click on Add data and select Qlik DataMarket. This shows you a menu with the categories of data available. In this case, select Demographics as shown in the following screenshot:

A few clicks and the app is enriched with content that provides context for analysis and insight, enabling users to ask more questions based on a broader scope and increased context.
