{"id":5095,"slug":"african-export-column-artist-by-date-21aug-to-19sep-2026","title":"Every African artist earning Spotify chart streams outside Africa, 20 collection dates, 21 August to 19 September 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, recomputed from this desk\u2019s 20 kept chart snapshots against a single roster vintage","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Every one of the 20 daily Spotify Top 200 snapshots this desk still holds, 21 August to 19 September 2026, was re-read row by row. The collector keeps the most recent 20 collection dates and prunes older files, so 13 to 20 August cannot be recomputed and are excluded rather than carried forward on an older classification. Each chart entry is credited in full to its lead artist, and the lead artist is looked up in this desk\u2019s roster as that roster stands on 19 September 2026. One roster vintage is applied to all 20 dates, which is the whole point of the rebuild: origin classifications changed materially between 13 August and 19 September, and a change in what this desk knows should not be reported as a change in the charts. export_streams for a date is the sum of streams on every published chart outside Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa, the four African countries Spotify publishes a daily chart for. A zero means the artist held no position in the Top 200 of any chart outside those four markets on that date; it does not mean nobody listened. total_20day sums the artist across all 20 dates and share_of_20day_pct is that against the 7,243,713-stream grand total of the same 20 dates. dates_present counts the dates on which the artist recorded a non-zero export figure, out of 20. The recomputed daily totals reconcile to the export_streams column of this desk\u2019s independently built african-presence-over-time series exactly, to the stream, on all 20 dates. The 14 rows the anomalies check flags on the 19 September collection all carry registered editorial decisions in panel-classification-decisions-19-september-2026; Nabi, the largest new entrant, was re-verified independently for this build. The dates are unevenly spaced, from one to five days apart, and are reported as collected rather than smoothed. Chart streams are not total streams: this measures Top 200 presence, not consumption. Two collection disclosures apply to every row: one market, Andorra, failed to collect on all 20 dates and is absent from every figure, so 75 published country charts are covered rather than 76; and the aggregated Global chart, which restates the country charts, carried no African-origin artist on any of the 20 dates, so its inclusion or exclusion changes no figure here.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
