{"id":3640,"slug":"african-export-column-daily-gross-04-september-2026","title":"What one day outside Africa was worth to each African artist on Spotify’s charts, 4 September 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's african-export-column-composition-04-september-2026 dataset and the Spotify 2024 row of duetti-per-stream-rates-2024","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"Rows are every African-origin artist credited with at least one Spotify chart stream outside Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa on 4 September 2026, eleven artists in all, taken unchanged from this desk's african-export-column-composition-04-september-2026 dataset, which itself reconciles exactly against the five non-African markets in spotify-african-share-by-market for the same date. export_streams and share_of_export_pct are carried over from that dataset without change. gross_usd is export_streams multiplied by $0.003, that is $3.00 per 1,000 streams, the global Spotify payout rate published by Duetti for calendar 2024 and held in this desk's duetti-per-stream-rates-2024 dataset. Duetti does not disclose the sample behind that rate, Spotify disputes that a per-stream rate exists at all, and this desk has not seen the underlying statements. The rate is a global blend. All five markets in this table, France, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates, carry higher Spotify subscription pricing than the global average, so the true rate on these particular streams is more likely above $0.003 than below it, and these gross figures are more likely conservative than generous. gross_usd is what a streaming service reports as paid out to rightsholders collectively for those plays. It is not artist income: it is measured before a distributor's cut, before any split with featured artists, producers or a label, before withholding tax and before foreign exchange. cumulative_gross_usd is computed from the running total of unrounded export_streams and then rounded, which is why it closes exactly on $996.67 while the eleven independently rounded gross_usd rows sum to $996.68. The one-cent difference is per-row rounding and is disclosed rather than forced to reconcile. Two of the eleven artists, Anselmo Ralph and Master Jake, are confirmed Angolan performers with no chart presence in any African market on this panel; this desk's anomaly check flags them for that reason and they are correctly retained as pure exporters. This counts chart presence, not consumption: an artist with a large overseas audience who does not reach a market's daily Top 200 records zero here, so every figure is a floor.","unit":"usd","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
