The 8 November per-country total (5 artists, 715,587 streams) and the 9 November total (7 artists, 992,734 streams) are both read directly from wp afw-data brief's by_country output on their respective dates. Two artists, Dlala Thukzin and Zee Nxumalo, are new entrants with a zero streams_08nov value because they did not chart on 8 November; their full 9 November total counts as their contribution to the rise. DJ Zinhle's and Tman Xpress's 8 November values are their own current-reading figures from the 8 November run of wp afw-data brief, which separately reported each as a riser against 5 November with a change_pct that reconciles exactly against their 9 November figures here (DJ Zinhle 283,840 to 350,147 is 23.37% against brief's independently reported 23.4%; Tman Xpress 109,255 to 132,691 is 21.46% against brief's reported 21.5%). The remaining three artists already on the panel on both dates, DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small and TxC, did not individually clear the brief command's top-4 mover cutoff on either date, so this dataset reports their combined 8 November total as the residual: South Africa's full 5-artist total on 8 November (715,587) minus DJ Zinhle's and Tman Xpress's individually-reported 8 November figures. change_streams is streams_09nov minus streams_08nov. share_of_rise_pct is change_streams divided by the full 277,147-stream rise in South Africa's panel total between the two dates, which is itself 715,587 subtracted from 992,734. The five change_streams values sum to exactly 277,147, which is the arithmetic check that no artist or value was missed or double-counted.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
