{"id":3770,"slug":"home-vs-other-african-share-four-charts-mondays-2026","title":"Home-origin versus other-African share of Spotify’s four African daily charts, four Mondays 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, artist origin from MusicBrainz and this desk's editorial roster","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"The African share of each of the four charts, split by whether the lead artist's registered country of origin is the charting market itself or another African country. Built for one purpose: to test whether a rise in a market's African share is that market's own music rising or African music from elsewhere arriving. Same four Mondays and same population as the Monday panel. This desk's Spotify chart collector retains the most recent full 76-market snapshots of the daily Top 200 as published by kworb.net. This build ran on 2026-09-07 over every snapshot on disk: 2026-08-13, 2026-08-17, 2026-08-20, 2026-08-21, 2026-08-22, 2026-08-24, 2026-08-25, 2026-08-27, 2026-08-28, 2026-08-30, 2026-08-31, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-02, 2026-09-04, 2026-09-06 and 2026-09-07. Gaps between listed dates are collection gaps, not zeros, and the intervals are uneven, which is the reason this dataset is built on same-weekday dates only. For each date and each of the four markets Spotify publishes a daily chart for in Africa (Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa), every entry on that market's Top 200 was summed, and the portion credited to lead artists whose registered country of origin is on the African continent was divided by the market total. Origin is applied as currently registered in this desk's roster, to every date, so a later correction moves the whole series rather than only future points. Two artists flagged as classified by name search and relevant to these four charts, Samthing Soweto (South Africa) and Cheb Amrou (Morocco), were checked against their charting recordings and confirmed against published biography before this build. Chart streams are a sample of consumption inside a market's daily Top 200, not a full accounting of streaming in that market, and a share of the Top 200 is not a share of a country's listening. On 2026-08-28 the upstream source served a chart identical in every position, track and stream count to 2026-08-27 for 44 of 76 markets, Egypt among them; Nigeria, Morocco and South Africa differed. That date is retained and disclosed rather than dropped. It is not one of the four Mondays used here.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
