Each was checked against the artist's actual charting record in that day's chart snapshot and against published biography. Anselmo Ralph: born Luanda, Angola, charts only Portugal, confirmed AO on the same lusophone export pattern this desk documented on 10 October. Master Jake: born Jorge Marcio Caramelo Lima in Lobito, Benguela province, Angola; charting record Jajao went platinum in Portugal in 2014; charts only Portugal; confirmed AO. Dj NTK: classified by MusicBrainz name search, which is the weaker basis, so the charting record was read directly: A KA NHLALA, charting at position 168 on the South African chart only, credited with Prince Benza, Makhadzi Entertainment, EeQue and Team Mosha, all Limpopo-based South African acts on a Lane Records release; confirmed ZA. Sammie Heavens: classified by name search; charting record TELL DAT TO THE OPPS featuring Nasty C, charting at position 177 on the South African chart only, artist KwaZulu-Natal-born and South African; confirmed ZA. No roster override was applied, because every flag was correct classification rather than error. None of the four rows is inside the 50-artist panel this desk's Nigeria and Egypt series is computed from.","unit":"text","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
