The 92 rows here are 91 distinct artist names for whom the roster holds no resolved country; one name, Inkos'yamagcokama, appears twice because two different Spotify artist IDs carry that exact name, a same-name page split this desk has flagged before and has not resolved which, if either, is a duplicate listing versus two genuinely different acts, so both IDs are kept as separate rows and labelled with their trailing Spotify ID characters. This dataset does NOT assert these are African, non-African, or South African artists; it lists artists the roster's automated lookup could not place at all, of any origin. Streams are each artist ID's summed chart streams across however many chart positions it held that day.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
