{"id":2264,"slug":"african-panel-change-13-to-22-august","title":"What moved on Spotify’s African chart panel between 13 and 22 August 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, artist origin from MusicBrainz","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"First and last rows of the registered series african-presence-over-time, differenced. That series holds one row per date on which this desk collected the full published panel of 75 Spotify country charts, and it applies the origin roster as currently registered to every date, so a corrected artist is corrected across the whole series. change is aug22 minus aug13. change_pct is that difference over the 13 August value. 'Charted streams per African artist' is African charted streams divided by the number of African artists charting on the same day, rounded to whole streams. Percentage-point metrics are shown as the raw percentage in each period and their arithmetic difference. Five collection dates fall inside this window; the intermediate three are in the series dataset and are not differenced here. 'African artists charting outside Africa' counts artists holding at least one position on a chart outside the four African markets Spotify publishes, over the full African population on each date rather than the 50-artist volume panel.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
