Because build_roster() never revisits or clears a country already assigned to an existing artist ID, every one of the 342 net additions is a first-time resolution attempt, and the three outcome rows below sum to exactly 342.","unit":"artists","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
