For each date, rows were grouped by the artist's registered country of origin (ISO 2-letter) and that country's export_streams summed; n_countries is the resulting count of distinct origin countries; top_country and top_country_share_pct are the single largest origin country that date and its share of that date's total. 13 August's dataset uses the field name 'origin' where later datasets use 'country'; both hold the same ISO2 codes and were merged on that basis. 24 October's row is this desk's own panel build for that date, computed the same way as every other reading, not sourced from a previously registered composition dataset because the panel refresh for today had not yet produced one. A date missing from this table is not evidence the export column was absent that day, only that this desk did not register a separate composition snapshot for it.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
