At each depth both the numerator and the denominator are taken from inside that cut, so the African artists counted are only those whose rank falls within it. Depths below 1,000 are not shown because origin was resolved only down to rank 1,000 and a deeper denominator would be paired with a numerator known to be incomplete. bank_per_1000 and accrual_per_1000 are the African subset\u2019s share of that cut\u2019s lifetime bank and of its 31-day accrual, stated per 1,000.","unit":"ratio","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
