{"id":6361,"slug":"panel-change-30sep-01oct-2026","title":"Day-over-day change, matched African-panel artists, 30 Sep to 1 Oct 2026","source":"Afrobeats Wire Spotify panel refresh (kworb.net daily country-chart snapshots, MusicBrainz origin)","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"The panel is the 50 African-origin artists with the most combined Spotify daily chart streams across 75 country charts, rebuilt from the Top 200 of each market and attributed to artists by MusicBrainz-resolved origin (see the spotify-african-artists-global dataset for the full method). This dataset matches every artist who appeared on both the 30 September and 1 October panels by Spotify artist ID (48 of the 50 slots on each day), and records each one's chart streams on both days, the day-over-day change, and the artist's rank within that day's 50-artist panel by streams. Two artists left the panel between the two snapshots (Fireboy DML, Zee Nxumalo) and two entered it (ZIAD ZAZA, Mohamed Hamaki); those four are excluded here because they have no day-over-day pair, and their figures are in the spotify-african-artists-global dataset instead. Chart streams are a same-day sample of Top 200 placements, not a full accounting of consumption, so a flat day for an artist already near the bottom of a market's Top 200 can look identical to a true plateau.","unit":"streams \/ %","license":"Chart figures via kworb.net; origin data from MusicBrainz (CC0)","confidence":"medium","retrieved":"2026-10-01
