Eminem was also the most successful artist in the US 2010-2019, people including me were definitely expecting Drake or something.
So one thing you have to consider is that, 1. It’s the machine they exist in the same constellation as here, 2. He’s globally the most successful 3. Africa is like 53 countries with a million languages, so the major languages shall top
most importantly
5. The skewness of streaming services in Africa. Who are the people with streaming services? Seeing an Arab as #1 And see real other Arabs, but no Davido, you could assume that this is mainly like Algeria/Morocco/Egypt. Deezer is a French service, perhaps this is what is hot in the Arab French colonies but not sub-Sahara.
