Total panel gross that day was $48,284.88. This is a concentration curve over 50 charting artists on one day, priced at a public global per-stream estimate, not a measure of the whole African streaming market or of any artist's actual statement.","unit":"usd","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
