{"id":777,"slug":"african-presence-over-time","title":"African artists on Spotify’s published daily charts, over time","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, artist origin from MusicBrainz","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"One row per date on which this desk collected the full published panel. For each date, every entry on every country chart Spotify publishes was summed, and the portion credited to lead artists of African origin taken as a share. export_streams counts African artists' streams on charts outside the four African markets Spotify publishes. markets_charting counts markets carrying any African artist at all. Spotify's global chart is excluded throughout because it aggregates the country charts. Origin is applied as currently registered, to every date, so that a corrected artist is corrected across the whole series rather than only going forward. Dates are collection dates, and a gap in them is a gap in collection, not a zero.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
