{"id":10154,"slug":"african-export-french-row-audit-oct-nov-2026","title":"Row-level audit of the single French chart row behind the African banked export measure, 20 panel days to 11 November 2026","source":"This desk's own dated panel snapshots of Spotify's published daily Top 200 country charts, files charts-2026-10-11 to charts-2026-11-11","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"This table exists because the reviewer refused to accept the one-row claim as an inference from France's share of banked export matching the largest holder's share. It is a direct row-level read of the stored snapshot for every one of the 20 panel days. For each day it counts the rows the French chart returned, the rows on that chart credited to a lead artist whose name contains Soolking, and the number of other non-African charts on the panel carrying any such row, which is the test of whether the holding is France-only. Where a row is present the track name, chart position, that day's streams and the cumulative banked streams are read straight off it. African charts, Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa, and Spotify's aggregate global chart are excluded from the other-charts count, the global chart because it double counts the country charts. Limits: the name match is a substring match on the lead-artist field, which is why the other-charts count is reported rather than assumed; the stored snapshot is what the source published on the day and is not independently reconcilable against Spotify; and a complete 200-row return does not prove the source's own figures are right, only that nothing was lost in collection.","unit":"count","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
