{"id":7146,"slug":"panel-ng-eg-seats-vs-streams-per-seat-12sep-to-11oct-2026","title":"Nigeria and Egypt on Spotify’s 50-artist African panel: seats, stream share and streams per seat, 12 September to 11 October 2026","source":"This desk's own africa-global panel snapshots, built from the Spotify daily Top 200 in every published market","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Every stored africa-global snapshot held by this desk on 11 October 2026 was read: 26 collection dates between 12 September and 11 October 2026, each one the 50 highest-streaming African-origin lead artists on the Spotify daily Top 200 across every market Spotify publishes a chart for that day. Earlier snapshots exist in the desk's series store but were pruned from the artist-level archive, so this is the full artist-level record available, not the full series. For each date, ng_seats and eg_seats count the panel rows carrying country code NG and EG; seat_gap is ng_seats minus eg_seats; ng_streams and eg_streams sum daily_streams for those rows; the share columns divide those sums by the whole 50-artist panel total for the same date; the per-seat columns divide each country's streams by its own seat count; ng_eg_per_seat_ratio divides Nigeria's per-seat figure by Egypt's. Origin is resolved against MusicBrainz, preferring the artist MusicBrainz links to that exact Spotify profile. Featured credits are not counted toward the featured artist. Collection is not daily: there are gaps on dates with no snapshot, so the series is 26 readings and not 30 days. panel_cutoff_streams is the daily_streams figure of the 50th and lowest artist on that date's panel, which is the threshold a new seat had to clear, and it is included so a reader can see whether a rising seat count reflects a falling bar.","unit":"mixed","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
