The first row is this desk's registered basis: an artist's origin is country of birth, so Soolking, born in Algeria, and Dinos, born in Douala, Cameroon, are African-origin artists and their streams on France's chart are export. The second row recomputes the same column treating France as the home market for both, because both are French residents with French careers who charted in no market other than France on this date: Wikidata records citizenship of France for Dinos, Q142, alongside a Cameroonian birthplace, Q132830. Only those two artists move between scenarios; no other row changes. countries_represented counts origin countries still contributing any export streams. The test exists because these two artists are 48.4 per cent of the column, so the definition, not the data, decides roughly half the headline.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
