These unresolved artists are NOT the same as 'non-African': they default into the non-African bucket in every one of this desk's prior priced or share datasets that relies on this roster, which is a limitation of the roster, not a finding about the artists.","unit":"streams","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
