Latest UK Soul Chart 7th Dec 2020

Links to new entries - for previous entries follow links to UK Soul Charts.

I've started to add BPM (beats per minutes) for new entries as generally most entries are dance rather than soul records.

17 (20) Stone Paxton - Happy People18 (NE) Sandra-Mae Lux - Happily Ever Now (Album)

I began writing a scathng review of this album, but decided not to publish it as it is only based on my own preferences/prejudice.  I'll leave you to decide on its merits, suffice to say that I personally do not rate it very highly and don't feel it warrants a place in any 'soul' top 20!
