{"id":2262,"slug":"african-panel-entrants-13-to-22-august","title":"African artists that entered Spotify’s published charts 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":"One row per African artist present on the 22 August 2026 panel and absent from the 13 August 2026 panel. Built by re-reading this desk's own dated chart snapshots for 13 August 2026 and 22 August 2026, which cover every entry on all 75 country charts Spotify publishes, and crediting each entry to its lead artist. Spotify's aggregated global chart is excluded because it double counts the country charts. An artist counts as African if the desk's origin roster, resolved against MusicBrainz and preferring the artist linked to that exact Spotify profile, records an African country of origin; every row the desk's anomaly check flagged on 22 August was reviewed by hand against the artist's actual charting tracks and an external source before this table was built. chart_streams sums the artist's streams across every chart they appear on that day. export_streams counts only streams on charts outside the four African markets Spotify publishes, which are Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt and Morocco. Chart presence is not consumption: an artist can lose a chart position without losing listeners, and an artist with a large but diffuse audience never appears here at all. market_count is the number of separate country charts the artist appeared on that day.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
