This table isolates the three markets, Italy, France and Portugal, where every African-origin stream on that day's Top 200 traced to one of four named artists, and states each artist's stream count and share of their market's African total (from spotify-african-share-by-market). Nabi, born in Conakry, Guinea, raised in Paris and based in Milan, supplied all of Italy's total. Soolking, an Algerian-French rapper, supplied all of France's. Anselmo Ralph and Master Jake, both Angolan R&amp;B singers charting through Portugal's Lusophone-diaspora audience, split Portugal's between them. Each origin is carried forward unchanged from this desk's prior classification-decisions log, where it was checked against the artist's own biography or a published interview naming a specific birthplace.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
