One day is one day: a market with no artist on this snapshot may hold seats on another, and twelve of the twenty zero rows are markets Spotify publishes no chart for at all, so they can only appear through a chart somewhere else.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
