{"id":3755,"slug":"spotify-four-african-charts-african-share-series-2026","title":"African share of Spotify’s four African daily charts, 16 collection dates, 13 August to 7 September 2026","source":"kworb.net Spotify daily country charts, artist origin from MusicBrainz and this desk's editorial roster","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"This desk's Spotify chart collector retains the most recent full 76-market snapshots of the daily Top 200 as published by kworb.net. This dataset was built on 2026-09-07 from every snapshot on disk: 2026-08-13, 2026-08-17, 2026-08-20, 2026-08-21, 2026-08-22, 2026-08-24, 2026-08-25, 2026-08-27, 2026-08-28, 2026-08-30, 2026-08-31, 2026-09-01, 2026-09-02, 2026-09-04, 2026-09-06 and 2026-09-07. Gaps between listed dates are collection gaps, not zeros, and the intervals are uneven. For each date and each of the four markets Spotify publishes a daily chart for in Africa (Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa), every entry on that market's Top 200 was summed, and the portion credited to lead artists whose registered country of origin is on the African continent was divided by the market total. Origin is applied as currently registered in this desk's roster, to every date, so a later correction moves the whole series rather than only future points. Two artists flagged as classified by name search and relevant to these four charts, Samthing Soweto (South Africa) and Cheb Amrou (Morocco), were checked against their charting recordings and confirmed against published biography before this build. Chart streams are a sample of consumption inside a market's daily Top 200, not a full accounting of streaming in that market, and a share of the Top 200 is not a share of a country's listening. On 2026-08-28 the upstream source served a chart identical in every position, track and stream count to 2026-08-27 for 44 of 76 markets, Egypt among them; Nigeria, Morocco and South Africa differed. That date is retained and disclosed rather than dropped, and it registers as a flat step for Egypt, not a fall. entries_counted is 800 on every date, being four markets by a 200-place chart, and sums to the total number of chart rows read across the window.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
