Group one: the seven Egyptian artists charting in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, whose export_streams sum to 142,009. Group two: the single Angolan artist charting in Portugal, 27,703 streams. The two groups sum to 169,712, the whole-panel export total for the date in this desk's african-presence-over-time series, and no artist appears in both. share_of_export_pct is each group's streams divided by 169,712, as a percentage to two decimals. No other origin country and no other destination market recorded a single African-origin charted stream outside the four African charts Spotify publishes on this date, which is why there is no third group and no residual row.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
