This filters that dataset to the 71 markets outside Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and South Africa (the four Spotify publishes a chart for) and keeps only the ones that carried at least one African-origin chart stream on the 19 September 2026 collection. Five did. share_of_export_pct is each market's african_streams divided by the sum of african_streams across these five rows (355,731). This is a complete count of every market Spotify publishes a chart for, not a sample: a market absent from this table carried zero African-origin chart streams on this date, not merely a small or unmeasured amount.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
