NotJustok’s Afrobeats Power Ranking is a systematic, data-driven framework designed to evaluate and rank the most influential Afrobeats Artists Artly.
The ranking integrates multiple quantitative and qualitative metrics including streaming performance, social media engagement, and the impact of recent releases to comprehensively evaluate artist influence in the genre.
A few weeks ago, when we posted the January AfroBeats Power Ranking on our social media page, many people had questions about how we got this data. Now it is:
Core indicators in ranking process
Ranking is built using the following key data points:
1. Global traffic: An artist achieves a global stream count this month as a major indicator of coverage and popularity.
2. Recent Publishing Events: Focus on music released within the first 30 days, including singles, EPs and albums, to reflect the current market momentum.
3. Social Media Engagement: Analyze metrics that capture online interactions, fan-generated content and audience activity to evaluate the artist’s digital footprint.
4. Broadcasting and retail data: Performance data from over 2,000 radio stations and 550 retail providers were consolidated to assess the wider industry impact.
Data acquisition and verification
The data comes directly from major digital streaming platforms (DSPs), such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack. To ensure accuracy and transparency, NotJustok leverages Luminate, an independent third-party data provider that aggregates and validates streaming and performance statistics. To maintain time correlation, priority will be published within the evaluation month.
