{"id":8158,"slug":"panel-classification-decisions-25-october-2026","title":"Classification decisions on every flagged row of this desk’s 25 October 2026 Spotify African panel run","source":"This desk's anomaly check. All seven rows repeat flags already adjudicated on earlier runs (5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 22, 23 and 24 October 2026) against biography and registry sources actually read; nothing in any of the seven artists' charting record or biography has changed since.","source_url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seyi_Vibez","source_type":"registry","method":"The afw-data anomalies command flagged 7 rows on the 25 October 2026 panel build: Seyi Vibez, Lege-Cy, Soolking, Tchubi, Anselmo Ralph, MA3IZ and Dj NTK. Six of the seven are repeat flags with standing decisions from prior runs (most recently 24 October), and each artist's charting markets and biography are unchanged today, so each prior decision stands and is cited to the source originally read. Dj NTK had no decision on record and was checked from scratch today: public listings (Apple Music artist page and South African streaming press coverage) identify him as a South African amapiano DJ\/producer based in Johannesburg, and he charts today only on South Africa's own chart, consistent with ZA. No roster override was written for any row.","unit":"text","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
