{"id":6661,"slug":"nigeria-egypt-home-chart-rank-three-readings-2026","title":"Nigeria and Egypt’s African share of their own Spotify charts, three readings, 7 September to 5 October 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's spotify-four-african-charts-african-share-series-2026 (7 September row), four-market-share-rank-change-07sep-to-04oct-2026 (4 October row) and spotify-african-share-by-market (5 October row)","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"This table does not collect anything new. It pulls the Nigeria and Egypt rows out of three datasets this desk had already registered, each built independently on its own collection date, and lines them up by date: 7 September 2026 from spotify-four-african-charts-african-share-series-2026 (the four-market series' last reading before it stopped being re-collected), 4 October 2026 from four-market-share-rank-change-07sep-to-04oct-2026, and 5 October 2026 directly from the current spotify-african-share-by-market snapshot. All three measure the same thing the same way: the share of each market's own Spotify daily Top 200 streams going to lead artists with a MusicBrainz-registered African country, read against each market's total chart streams that day. No date between these three was re-collected into any registered dataset, so the 4 October reading is an isolated spike, not a traced trend, and the 5 October reading is the very next day this desk measured after it. Part of the movement in Egypt's share over this period may reflect this desk's own roster-resolution work catching up on previously unplaced artists rather than a change in what Egyptians streamed; see egypt-share-jump-resolution-context-04-october-2026 for that distinction, which this table does not resolve.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
