Prior seat counts are not separately fetched; they are derived arithmetically, because the panel comparison's entrant and exit lists are exhaustive for this window (every artist who entered or left the top 50 between the two readings appears in one of the two lists, and no artist from any other country appears in either). South Africa's 2026-11-11 count is therefore its 2026-11-14 count minus its three entrants; Nigeria's is its 2026-11-14 count plus its three exits. Egypt (17 seats) and Morocco (4 seats) appear in neither list and are held constant across both readings by the same logic.","unit":"","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
