{"id":2996,"slug":"spotify-chart-entry-cost-african-vs-export-markets","title":"Cost of a Spotify chart entry against African chart streams carried, eleven markets, 30 August 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"Eleven markets selected from the 71-market entry-threshold table: the four African countries Spotify publishes a daily chart for, the six non-African markets that carried any African-artist chart streams on 30 August 2026, and the United States as the ceiling. The entry threshold is the streams reported against position 200 on 30 August 2026. The multiple-of-Portugal column divides each market's entry threshold by Portugal's. The number-one-to-entry ratio divides position 1 by position 200 in the same market on the same day and describes how top-heavy that chart is. Rank is out of the 71 markets whose chart carried a position 200 that day. African-artist streams inside that chart is the sum of streams for every charting entry in that market credited to one of the 50 artists in this desk's latest africa-global panel, whose country of origin was resolved against MusicBrainz and manual overrides. It counts lead credits as the chart reports them, so a feature by an African artist on a non-African act's record is not counted.","unit":"streams","license":"Chart figures via kworb.net","confidence":"medium","retrieved":"2026-08-30 00:00:00","n":11,"first_party":0,"columns":[{"key":"market","label":"Market","type":"text"},{"key":"entry_rank","label":"Rank by entry cost, of 69","type":"number"},{"key":"entry_streams","label":"Streams at position 200","type":"number"},{"key":"multiple_of_portugal","label":"Multiple of Portugal's entry cost","type":"number"},{"key":"no1_streams","label":"Streams at position 1","type":"number"},{"key":"no1_to_entry_ratio","label":"No.1 divided by entry","type":"number"},{"key":"african_chart_streams","label":"African-artist streams inside that chart","type":"number"}],"rows":[{"market":"United States","entry_rank":1,"entry_streams":313718,"multiple_of_portugal":32.87,"no1_streams":1443703,"no1_to_entry_ratio":4.6,"african_chart_streams":0},{"market":"France","entry_rank":10,"entry_streams":61771,"multiple_of_portugal":6.47,"no1_streams":398719,"no1_to_entry_ratio":6.5,"african_chart_streams":174272},{"market":"Nigeria","entry_rank":20,"entry_streams":32515,"multiple_of_portugal":3.41,"no1_streams":386591,"no1_to_entry_ratio":11.9,"african_chart_streams":9941020},{"market":"Netherlands","entry_rank":22,"entry_streams":27219,"multiple_of_portugal":2.85,"no1_streams":211023,"no1_to_entry_ratio":7.8,"african_chart_streams":27983},{"market":"South Africa","entry_rank":27,"entry_streams":17245,"multiple_of_portugal":1.81,"no1_streams":110473,"no1_to_entry_ratio":6.4,"african_chart_streams":589441},{"market":"Egypt","entry_rank":29,"entry_streams":14731,"multiple_of_portugal":1.54,"no1_streams":130419,"no1_to_entry_ratio":8.9,"african_chart_streams":2329960},{"market":"Portugal","entry_rank":39,"entry_streams":9545,"multiple_of_portugal":1,"no1_streams":59214,"no1_to_entry_ratio":6.2,"african_chart_streams":115130},{"market":"Belgium","entry_rank":33,"entry_streams":11845,"multiple_of_portugal":1.24,"no1_streams":63399,"no1_to_entry_ratio":5.4,"african_chart_streams":13148},{"market":"Morocco","entry_rank":56,"entry_streams":4666,"multiple_of_portugal":0.49,"no1_streams":63581,"no1_to_entry_ratio":13.6,"african_chart_streams":588747},{"market":"United Arab Emirates","entry_rank":68,"entry_streams":2058,"multiple_of_portugal":0.22,"no1_streams":11948,"no1_to_entry_ratio":5.8,"african_chart_streams":14536},{"market":"Saudi Arabia","entry_rank":62,"entry_streams":3598,"multiple_of_portugal":0.38,"no1_streams":16114,"no1_to_entry_ratio":4.5,"african_chart_streams":96682}]}
