{"id":7961,"slug":"panel-recording-yield-by-country-23-october-2026","title":"Charting recordings against chart streams by country of origin, Spotify African panel, 23 October 2026","source":"This desk's own spotify-african-artists-global panel for 23 October 2026","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"Derived entirely from this desk's spotify-african-artists-global dataset for 23 October 2026, which holds the 50 African-origin lead artists with the most Spotify daily chart streams across the 74 country charts that parsed that day. Artists are grouped by the country of origin registered for them, and for each country the panel artists, their distinct charting recordings and their daily chart streams are summed. share_recordings_pct and share_streams_pct are that country's totals over the whole panel's 327 recordings and 15,337,851 streams. streams_per_recording is the country's chart streams divided by its charting recordings, and recordings_per_artist is its recordings divided by its panel artists; both are computed here rather than in prose so they can be checked. Recordings are deduplicated across markets on Spotify track id while streams are summed across markets, so an artist charting one recording in two markets counts as one recording holding both markets' streams. Nine of the 50 panel artists chart in more than one market and seven of those nine are Egyptian, which raises Egypt's streams_per_recording relative to a single-market cohort. Shares are rounded to two decimals and may not sum to exactly 100. Chart streams count only tracks inside a market's daily top 200 on one date and are not total consumption.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
