{"id":7539,"slug":"african-chart-share-india-corrected-22sep-17oct-2026","title":"African music’s share of Spotify’s charted streams, as published and with India removed from the denominator throughout, 22 September to 17 October 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, as captured in this desk's own dated chart snapshots, matched against this desk's artist origin roster","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"For each of the 20 collection dates whose raw snapshots this desk still holds, every entry on the 75 country charts collected was matched by Spotify artist ID against this desk's origin roster of 6,348 charting artists, 160 of them resolved to an African country of origin. Spotify's global chart is excluded so no stream is counted twice. african_streams is the sum of the Streams column over entries whose lead artist resolves to an African origin, and it reproduces the published presence series exactly on all 20 dates. charted_pool_as_published is the sum of the Streams column over all 75 charts, which is the denominator every piece this desk has published uses. charted_pool_excluding_india repeats that sum with Spotify's India chart dropped on every date, present or absent, so that the same 74 charts are compared throughout. african_streams_inside_india is zero on all 20 dates, which is why removing India changes the denominator and not the numerator. The 25 earlier readings in the 45-reading presence series cannot be recomputed this way because their raw snapshots have been pruned.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
