{"id":7559,"slug":"panel-gross-top-concentration-series-05oct-17oct-2026","title":"Top-1 and top-10 share of Spotify’s 50-artist African panel gross, four readings, 5 to 17 October 2026","source":"Computed from this desk's panel-artist-gross-05-october-2026, panel-artist-gross-08-october-2026, panel-artist-gross-16-october-2026 and panel-artist-gross-17-october-2026 datasets","source_url":"https:\/\/report.duetti.co\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Four non-consecutive collection dates on which this desk built a priced per-artist gross table for its 50-artist African Spotify panel exist in the dataset registry: 5, 8, 16 and 17 October 2026. There is an 8-day gap between the second and third readings in which no priced table was built; this series does not claim a daily cadence. For each date, artists were sorted by gross_usd (daily_streams times Duetti's $3.00-per-1,000-stream 2024 global Spotify rate) and two cutoffs were taken: the single highest-grossing artist's share of that day's total panel gross (top1_share_pct), and the combined share of the ten highest-grossing artists (top10_share_pct). The leading artist by gross was not the same person on every date: Seyi Vibez led on 5 and 8 October, FOLA on 16 and 17 October. Panel membership itself also changed slightly across these dates as artists entered and left the 50-artist cutoff, so this measures concentration within whichever 50 artists charted highest that day, not a fixed cohort.","unit":"mixed","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
