Thirteen of the fourteen rows repeat artists already checked and confirmed on the 17 and 19 September 2026 collections; those decisions are carried forward unchanged because the underlying facts, an artist's documented country of origin, do not change between collections. One row, Kurt Darren, is new to this flag set and was checked against a fresh source before publication.","unit":"decision","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
