{"id":7426,"slug":"african-export-column-composition-16-october-2026","title":"Every artist holding African music’s Spotify export column, 16 October 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's own spotify-african-artists-global and spotify-african-share-by-market builds of the 16 October 2026 Spotify daily country-chart panel","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"Population: every African-origin artist on this desk's 16 October 2026 panel build of Spotify's 75 published daily country Top 200 charts with a non-zero export_streams value, where export_streams counts only streams earned on a chart outside Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa, the four African countries Spotify publishes a daily chart for. Seven artists come from the registered spotify-african-artists-global build for 16 October 2026 and their export_streams values are copied unchanged from it. The eighth, Anselmo Ralph, sits below that build's 50-artist cutoff; his 27,703 streams are taken from the registered spotify-african-share-by-market build for the same date, where Portugal records 27,703 African-origin streams across african_artists = 1, making the market total and the artist total the same number. share_of_export_pct is each artist's export_streams divided by 169,712, the whole-panel export total recorded for 2026-10-16 in this desk's african-presence-over-time series, expressed as a percentage to two decimals. The eight export_streams values sum to exactly 169,712, so this table is the complete export column and not a sample of it. Excluded: every African-origin artist whose entire charted footprint on 16 October sat inside the four African charts, which is all of the other 103 artists on the panel.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
