{"id":6622,"slug":"egypt-share-jump-resolution-context-04-october-2026","title":"Egypt’s Spotify home-chart African share against this desk’s own September resolution bounds","source":"Computed from this desk's egypt-african-share-under-three-origin-bases-2026, egypt-chart-origin-resolution-13aug-vs-13sep-2026 and spotify-african-share-by-market datasets","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"On 13 September 2026 this desk computed Egypt's Spotify daily Top 200 African share under three origin bases (egypt-african-share-under-three-origin-bases-2026): the registry as it stood that day (40.13%), the registry plus seven artists this desk could document as Egyptian but MusicBrainz had not yet placed (80.2%), and an upper bound counting every unplaced artist as Egyptian (94.71%, explicitly flagged in that dataset as certainly too high). The same day's companion dataset (egypt-chart-origin-resolution-13aug-vs-13sep-2026) recorded that 54.58% of that day's Egypt chart streams sat with artists carrying no registered country at all. This table adds a fourth row: Egypt's registered African share on 4 October 2026, read directly from this desk's spotify-african-share-by-market dataset (75.71%, 4,636,869 of 6,124,862 streams, 30 African-origin artists charting). No new classification work was done to produce this row; it is the registry as this desk's ordinary roster-resolution process has left it three weeks on. The four rows are not the same measurement repeated, they are three bases applied to one day (13 September) plus the plain registry applied to a later day (4 October), and the table does not claim the October figure is caused by resolution rather than by a real change in what charted; it reports that the October figure sits between the September registry figure and the September documented-Egyptian estimate, closer to the latter, and leaves open which part of the movement is resolution catching up versus which part, if any, is a real shift in streaming.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
