{"id":10146,"slug":"african-export-banked-share-ex-france-oct-nov-2026","title":"African banked export share on Spotify’s charts with the single French chart row removed, 20 panel days to 11 November 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's registered dataset african-banked-export-share-series","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"This is the counterfactual behind the piece's claim that one chart row decides which regime the published measure reports. For each of the 20 panel days, France's recorded share of banked African export is subtracted from that day's banked export, and the remainder is divided by the same unchanged banked panel total. France is used as the proxy for the single row because on all 15 high-regime days France's share of banked export and the largest single holder's share are the identical figure, and that holder is Soolking on every one of those days, so France's banked African export on the panel is that one row. On the five low-regime days France's share is zero and the recomputed figure is identical to the reported one by construction. The arithmetic is a subtraction from the numerator only; no denominator is adjusted, which is deliberate, because the point is that the denominator barely moves. Limits: this is a leave-one-out recomputation of an already-published indicator, not a claim that Soolking should be excluded; he is registered to Algeria by MusicBrainz, which is why this desk counts him, and he is long resident in France. The per-day French total is read from the series' france_pct column rather than recollected row by row, so it carries that column's rounding to one decimal place.","unit":"percent","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
