{"id":10011,"slug":"african-featured-vs-lead-export-series","title":"African export on Spotify charts, featured credits against lead credits, 20 panel days to 11 November 2026","source":"Spotify daily Top 200 country charts via kworb.net, artist origin from MusicBrainz","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Population: every panel day this desk holds a complete chart snapshot for between 11 October and 11 November 2026, 20 days in all. The panel is not every calendar day because snapshots are taken on the days the desk runs the collector. For each day, lead_stock and lead_flow are the banked and one-day streams held by African-origin lead artists on charts outside Africa, which is the measure this desk has published weekly. featured_stock and featured_flow are the same two figures for African artists appearing as credited features on rows led by a non-African artist. stock_multiple and flow_multiple are the featured figures divided by the lead figures. Every row of Spotify's published daily Top 200 was collected for all 75 country charts on the panel. Each row carries two stream figures: the day's streams, and the cumulative streams the track has accumulated in that market over the whole period the chart has been tracked, which this desk calls banked streams. Each row also carries the artists credited after the lead, which this desk has never counted until now. A featured credit is matched to this desk's MusicBrainz-resolved origin roster by exact name, which is weaker evidence than the direct Spotify profile link used for lead credits, so every match used here was checked by hand against the lead artist and track it appears on. Rows whose lead artist is already African are excluded from the featured totals so that no stream is counted twice. The aggregate 'global' chart is excluded because it double counts the country charts. Limits: the origin roster is built from artists who have appeared as lead credits, so an African artist who has only ever been a featured credit is invisible to this method and these figures are a lower bound; banked totals are capped by how long each market's chart has been tracked, so they are not streams since release; chart streams cover only tracks inside a market's top 200, not catalogue consumption; and Spotify publishes a daily chart for four African countries.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
