{"id":5311,"slug":"one-artist-chart-day-priced-against-african-total-20-september-2026","title":"One artist’s Spotify chart day priced against African music’s whole chart day, 20 September 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's african-presence-over-time and spotify-african-share-by-market datasets for the 20 September 2026 snapshot and the Spotify 2024 row of duetti-per-stream-rates-2024","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"chart_streams for the all-75-charts row and the outside-Africa row are taken unchanged from this desk's african-presence-over-time dataset for 20 September 2026, which sums every African-origin lead artist's streams across all 75 markets Spotify publishes a daily Top 200 for and, separately, across the 71 of those markets outside Africa. The Nigeria row is taken from spotify-african-share-by-market for the same snapshot. The Seyi Vibez row is his summed daily stream count across all 22 tracks he leads on Nigeria's chart on that date, computed from the same collection. gross_usd multiplies chart_streams by 0.003 US dollars, that is 3.00 US dollars per 1,000 streams, Duetti's published global Spotify payout rate for calendar 2024, held in this desk's duetti-per-stream-rates-2024 dataset. Duetti does not disclose the statements behind that figure and Spotify disputes that any fixed per-stream rate exists, on the grounds that it pools revenue and pays out pro rata to a rightsholder's share of total streams. Applying one global blended rate to every market means the Nigeria and Seyi Vibez rows are priced at a rate weighted toward higher-ARPU markets and are therefore ceilings, while the outside-Africa row mixes higher-ARPU and lower-ARPU destinations, so the multiple_of_export_column figures are more likely understated than overstated. share_of_african_gross_pct divides each row's gross by the all-75-charts gross; the four rows overlap by construction and do not sum to 100. multiple_of_export_column divides each row's gross by the outside-Africa gross. Chart streams measure presence inside a market's daily Top 200 on one date, not catalogue consumption, and one date is a snapshot, not a trend.","unit":"usd","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
