{"id":3601,"slug":"african-cross-border-chart-presence-04-september-2026","title":"Charts carrying an African artist from another country, 4 September 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, artist origin from MusicBrainz","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Every entry on Spotify's published daily Top 200 in the 75 country charts was collected from the dated snapshot held by this desk. Spotify's aggregate global chart is excluded, because it is not a market. Each entry was credited to its lead artist only; featured credits are not counted toward the featured artist. Artist origin was resolved against MusicBrainz, preferring the artist MusicBrainz links to that exact Spotify profile and falling back to a documented manual override with published evidence where no link exists. Artists MusicBrainz cannot place are excluded rather than assumed African. For each African-origin artist the number of distinct country charts carrying at least one of their tracks that day was counted, and their chart streams summed across those charts. Chart streams are a sample of consumption, not a full accounting: they cover only tracks inside a market's top 200 on a single day, so an artist with real demand spread below position 200 in many markets registers here as absent. For each of the 101 African-origin artists, every country chart they appeared on other than the chart of their own registered country of origin was counted as a cross-border appearance, and those appearances aggregated by receiving market. A market appears here only if at least one African artist from a different country charted on it that day.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
