This table counts, for each country that ever held one of those periphery seats, how many of those 10 periphery readings it appeared in. A country can only appear once per reading because this desk's panel method resolves each charting artist to a single country of origin and the periphery country counts in the source series were never above one seat per country per day except where stated. share_of_periphery_readings_pct is appearances divided by 10, the count of periphery readings, not of all 17 readings.","unit":"readings","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
