Because the two dates use different origin vintages, the artist counts are not a like-for-like series; the four markets marked lost are marked so on the strength of their 19 September count being zero, which is vintage-independent.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
