Row 1 and row 2 are the first and last rows of african-chart-streams-home-versus-export-13aug-to-28sep-2026 as the series stands after this desk reclassified, on 28 September 2026, the Spotify ID charting in Italy as \"Nabi\" from Guinea to Italy. Row 3 is the same 28 September total as the series reported it immediately before that change was made, read from the series store before the rebuild. Row 4 is the reclassified row's own chart streams on 28 September, which is the exact difference between rows 2 and 3. change_pct on rows 2 and 3 is the change against row 1, rounded to one decimal place. share_of_measured_fall_pct on row 4 is row 4 divided by the absolute fall in row 2, rounded to one decimal place. The reclassified artist first appears on the panel on 16 September 2026, so the change affects the September end of the series only and therefore makes the measured fall larger, not smaller. This table exists so a reader can see the size of that effect rather than take the corrected figure on trust.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
