{"id":9607,"slug":"spotify-home-chart-censored-tenure-by-market-09-november-2026","title":"Share of each African Spotify market’s home chart entries charting since before this desk’s chart record begins, by artist origin, 9 November 2026","source":"This desk's own afw_chart_entry\/afw_chart_snapshot store (source=spotify, chart_type=songs), artist origin resolved against MusicBrainz via the roster","source_url":"https:\/\/kworb.net\/spotify\/","source_type":"computed","method":"All 200 entries on the Spotify daily Top 200 for each of the four African markets Spotify publishes a chart for (Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Morocco) were read from this desk's own chart_entry\/chart_snapshot tables for 9 November 2026. Each entry's artist name was normalised (NFKD decomposed, combining marks stripped, casefolded, remaining Unicode word characters kept, everything else removed; non-Latin scripts such as Arabic are preserved rather than deleted by the normaliser) and matched against this desk's roster (7,037 artists resolved against MusicBrainz). 797 of 800 entries matched; the 3 unmatched (2 instances of one unresolved Egyptian act, 1 of 'Muslim') are excluded rather than assumed. days_on is this desk's own tenure counter, incremented once per day an ext_id (a title+artist match key) survives between consecutive daily snapshots; it is NOT kworb's own displayed tenure figure, since this desk's collector for Spotify does not capture that column. The counter is left-censored: this desk's chart_snapshot store has no history before 16 August 2026, so any entry that was already charting on that date, or has simply never missed a day since, shows the same capped value every market hit on 9 November: 83, the number of days between 16 August and 9 November inclusive of the two missed collection dates (14-15 October) noted elsewhere in this desk's record. A days_on of 83 therefore means only 'charting for at least 83 days, true tenure unknown', not 'exactly 83 days'. capped_pct is the share of each (market, origin) group whose days_on equals exactly 83.","unit":"pct","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
