A zero value means the artist did not chart on South Africa's own Top 200 that date, not that they had no streams anywhere. change is streams_29oct minus streams_22oct; change_pct is left blank where the 22 October base was zero, since a percentage change from zero is undefined, not small. The sum of every row's streams_22oct equals this desk's registered 817,069-stream African total for 22 October (matching the 18.63 per cent reading in the south-africa-home-chart-share-series-17aug-29oct-2026 dataset); the sum of streams_29oct equals 807,278, the matching figure behind the 29 October reading of 17.90 per cent.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
