{"id":4477,"slug":"four-african-charts-monday-step-deltas-aug-sep-2026","title":"Monday-to-Monday step sizes behind the four-market African chart share change, 17 August to 7 September 2026","source":"Recomputed from this desk's four-african-charts-monday-panel-aug-sep-2026 dataset (mon1_share_pct through mon4_share_pct)","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Each market's total change across the four Mondays (change_pts in four-african-charts-monday-panel-aug-sep-2026) is a single number that can hide how evenly it was distributed across the three Monday-to-Monday steps that make it up. This table breaks the total into its three component steps: step1_pts is 24 Aug minus 17 Aug, step2_pts is 31 Aug minus 24 Aug, step3_pts is 7 Sep minus 31 Aug. largest_step_abs is the size of the biggest of the three steps and largest_step_share_pct expresses it as a share of the total change's own size, so a market whose whole move happened in one step reads differently from one that moved evenly across all three. all_steps_rose, all_steps_fell and all_steps_flat restate, for context, this desk's weekday-neutral count of direction across every one of the 15 date-to-date transitions in the full 16-date collection (not just the four Mondays), copied unchanged from four-african-charts-monday-panel-aug-sep-2026. Same population, same four markets, same four Monday dates as the parent dataset; this table adds no new measurement, only a different cut of the same numbers.","unit":"pct_points","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
