{"id":4791,"slug":"african-export-column-country-composition-series-corrected","title":"Country composition of Spotify’s African export column, seven collection dates (corrected)","source":"Computed from this desk's african-export-footprint (13 Aug), african-export-column-composition datasets for 28, 30 August, 4, 6 and 12 September, and the corrected african-export-column-composition-16-september-2026-corrected dataset","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Supersedes african-export-column-country-composition-series. The original series' first six points were built from this desk's full export population, but its final point, 16 September, was built from the top-50-capped africa-global panel, silently excluding Anselmo Ralph, Master Jake and Noura, who had appeared on every one of the previous six dates. This corrected row restores them: total_export_streams rises from 289,653 to 340,960, n_countries from 3 to 4, and eg_share_pct falls from the previously reported 55.3 to 47.0. The corrected 16 September total was checked against this desk's spotify-african-share-by-market for the same date at the individual non-African-market level (Saudi Arabia, France, Portugal, Italy and the United Arab Emirates each summed independently) and matches to the stream; african-presence-over-time is a differently scoped, fully backdated series collected on different dates and is not used here as a check, because it disagreed with every one of this series' other six rows by tens of thousands of streams when compared. The first six rows are unchanged from the original series. Origin classifications were fixed at whatever this desk's roster held on each collection date, not backdated, so a roster correction made after a date was collected does not move that date's total retroactively; the seven totals are therefore not built from an identical roster snapshot. Nabi (Guinea) is the only first-time entrant in the 16 September row and the largest single swing factor in whether that date reads as a fall or a continued rise from 12 September; see african-export-column-nabi-sensitivity-16-september-2026. The gaps between collection dates are uneven (15, 2, 5, 2, 6 and 4 days), so this cannot show whether any single move was gradual or sudden, only that it happened between two named dates.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
