The first four readings per market are taken unchanged from the registered home-vs-other-african-share-four-charts-mondays-2026 dataset. The fifth reading, 22 October 2026, was computed today by rerunning this desk's market-share collector against the current Spotify daily Top 200 and the current MusicBrainz-resolved roster for all four markets. A fifth market, Egypt, was also independently measured on 4 October 2026 at 75.71 per cent in this desk's registered egypt-share-jump-resolution-context-04-october-2026 dataset; that reading is not included in this table because the matching 4 October readings for Nigeria, Morocco and South Africa were computed only in prose in an unpublished draft and were never separately registered as a dataset, so they are excluded here rather than asserted without a citable source. rose_every_reading flags, for each market, whether every step from one reading to the next in this table was positive; it is the test this piece's headline rests on, computed directly from the signs of the four step changes per market, not asserted in prose.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
