Each was checked individually against a published biographical source before this run assigned a country with wp afw-data roster --set and a recorded evidence URL. cumulative_streams_20day is each artist's total streams on the home-market column of the chart_markets listed, summed across every one of the 20 daily Spotify chart snapshots this desk has kept, 13 August to 15 September 2026; it is not a daily figure and not a global total, only the sum on the specific African market chart(s) named. All seven rows are now recorded as African-origin; a related, separately registered check (wael-jassar-non-african-exclusion-15-september-2026) documents an eighth unresolved artist who charts on the same Egypt chart but was confirmed non-African and correctly excluded rather than reclassified.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
