Total panel gross that day was $48,192.67. This is a concentration curve over artists, not over individual tracks or over the full catalogue either artist holds; several artists on the panel chart with more than one recording. It measures one day's chart-sample gross, priced at a public global per-stream estimate that is not any artist's actual statement.","unit":"usd","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
