I'm attempting to format visualisation titles using report themes - upon searching how to achieve this I came across this article:

I have not been successful however in attempting to format the title of a stacked column chart visualisation.
Here is my JSON file, which successfully modifies my visualisation, just not the visualisation title as I had expected based on the above 2 articles:
{ "name":"Test", "dataColors":["#555555", "#444444", "#444445", "#444446", "#444447", "#444448","#444449"], "background":"#888888", "foreground":"#999999", "tableAccent":"#AAAAAA", "visualStyles":{ "*":{ "*":{ "title": [{ "show": true, "fontColor": { "solid": { "color": "#EEEEEE" } }, "background": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } }, "alignment": "center", "fontSize": 30, "fontFamily": "Calibri, Cambria" }], "*":[{"fontSize":30,"fontFamily":"Calibri, Cambria","color":{"solid":{}}}] } }, "*":{ "*":{ "grid":[ { "outlineColor":{"solid":{"color":"#777777"}}, "gridVertical":false, "gridVerticalColor":{"solid":{"color":"#777777"}}, "gridHorizontal":false, "gridHorizontalColor":{"solid":{"color":"#777777"}} } ], "columnHeaders":[ { "fontColor":{"solid":{"color":"#777777"}}, "backColor":{"solid":{"color":"#FFFFFF"}}, "fontFamily":"Calibri, Cambria" } ], "values":[ { "backColorSecondary":{"solid":{"color":"#FFFFFF"}} } ] } } ,"columnChart":{ "*":{ "legend": [{"fontSize":20}], "categoryAxis": [ {"labelColor": {"solid": {"color":"#123456"} }, "fontSize":20, "showAxisTitle":true, "titleFontSize":20 } ], "valueAxis": [ { "fontSize":20, "titleFontSize":30 } ], "labels": [ {"fontSize":20} ], "legend": [ { "show": true, "position": "Top", "showTitle": true, "titleText": "", "labelColor": { "solid": { "color": "#123456"}}, "fontFamily": "Courier New", "fontSize": 30 } ] } } } }
Can anybody point out where I've gone wrong?
Here is a screenshot of my visualisation title:
