{"id":7391,"slug":"south-africa-panel-presence-series-2026","title":"South Africa’s seat count and streams on Spotify’s 50-artist African panel, ten dates, 28 August to 16 October 2026","source":"This desk's own registered country-breakdown datasets, each itself computed from a dated spotify-african-artists-global or panel-artist-gross snapshot of kworb.net's Spotify daily Top 200 across a 75-market panel","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Compiled from ten dated country-breakdown datasets already registered by this desk, one per date: panel-country-concentration-28-august-2026, panel-country-concentration-04-september-2026, panel-country-shares-26-to-27-september-2026 (26 September column) and south-africa-panel-composition-27-september-2026 (artist count), panel-country-concentration-27-september-2026, panel-country-concentration-02-october-2026, panel-artist-gross-05-october-2026, panel-totals-by-country-05-06-october-2026 (6 October column), panel-artist-gross-08-october-2026, spotify-african-artists-global-12-october-2026, and spotify-african-artists-global (16 October 2026 build). za_artists and za_streams sum every South African-origin (ZA) artist present in that date's top-50 African panel; ng_streams is the same date's Nigeria (NG) total, included for contrast. Nigeria's artist count is omitted for 26 September because this desk's registered datasets for that date give country stream totals but not country-level artist counts; every other date's ng_streams and za figures are direct panel sums, not estimates. These ten dates are not a continuous daily series: they are every dated country breakdown this desk had on file as of 16 October 2026, spaced from one day to three weeks apart, and no date was added or dropped to flatter a finding.","unit":"mixed","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
