{"id":4385,"slug":"african-chart-day-gross-by-market-13-september-2026","title":"What a day of African chart streams is worth on Spotify, by market, 13 September 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's spotify-african-share-by-market dataset for 13 September 2026 and the Spotify 2024 row of duetti-per-stream-rates-2024","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"Rows are the eight markets, of the 75 Spotify publishes a daily Top 200 for and this desk collects, that carried any African-origin artist's chart streams on 13 September 2026. african_streams for each market is that market's african_streams value taken unchanged from this desk's spotify-african-share-by-market dataset for the same date; the eight sum to 14,506,935, and the other 67 markets carried zero. gross_usd is african_streams multiplied by $0.003, which is $3.00 per 1,000 streams, the global Spotify payout rate published by catalogue-investment firm Duetti for calendar 2024 and held in this desk's duetti-per-stream-rates-2024 dataset. That rate is a global blend derived from royalty statements Duetti reviews; Duetti does not disclose the sample behind it, Spotify disputes that any per-stream rate exists on the grounds that it pools revenue and pays pro rata, and this desk has not seen the underlying statements. The blend is also not market-specific, and its error runs in opposite directions on this table: Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa are all lower-priced Spotify markets than the global average, so their true rate is very likely below $0.003, while France and Portugal are higher-priced, so theirs is very likely above it. gross_usd is rounded to the cent from the unrounded product for each row independently; the eight rows sum to $43,520.80, which matches the independently rounded product of the 14,506,935 total. share_of_gross_pct is each market's african_streams divided by 14,506,935, to one decimal place. segment marks whether the market is one of the four African countries Spotify publishes a chart for or one of the four others. This is chart presence, not consumption: streams from a track outside a market's daily Top 200 count zero here, so every figure is a floor on what that market's African listening is worth, not a total.","unit":"usd","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
