{"id":3836,"slug":"african-cross-border-chart-presence-by-artist-04-september-2026","title":"Which African artists crossed into another African chart, 4 September 2026","source":"Filtered from this desk's african-artist-chart-breadth-04-september-2026 (kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, artist origin from MusicBrainz)","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Every row in this desk's african-artist-chart-breadth-04-september-2026 dataset (101 African-origin artists resolved against Spotify's 75 published daily Top 200 charts on 4 September 2026, aggregate global chart excluded) was filtered for artists whose market_list contains a market code other than their own registered country of origin, restricted to destinations among the four markets Spotify itself publishes an African daily chart for: Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa. artist_total_chart_streams is that artist's chart streams summed across every market in their market_list, not only the destination named in this row; an artist charting on two foreign African markets appears twice, once per destination, each time carrying their full cross-market total, so this column cannot be summed across rows to price a single destination and no such sum is presented in this piece. home_chart_published is copied from the source dataset and records whether the artist's own registered country of origin is one of the four markets Spotify itself publishes a chart for; where it is 'no' the artist's country has no home chart this measurement could compare them against, so their appearance on any other African chart is definitionally cross-border rather than evidence of an actual audience crossing. Row counts per destination_chart reconcile exactly, market by market, with this desk's african-cross-border-chart-presence-04-september-2026 dataset: Morocco 11, Nigeria 3, South Africa 2, Egypt 0.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
