The Global Soul Chart - 10th July 2021 - The Essential 5 & The Breakers

This week's 'Essential 5' and 'The Breakers' played by Franklin Sinclair on the Global Soul Chart Show which is aired between 5pm-7pm every Saturday on Global Soul Radio.

He plays the Essential 5 at the start of the show, whilst The Breakers are interspersed between chart entries. 

A podcast of the show is posted each week on Mixcloud or listen on Global Soul Chart post.

The Breakers

Ten breakers this week, and only three not yet posted, Devin Tracy, ebdl & Miller Blue and Sasha Laine. 

From last week's breakers Rasida (as predicted), along with Melonyx's EP Black Elixir and D Mills, were Global Soul chart entries this week #15, #9 and #14 respectively. I still don't think Hill St. Soul "Blessed" has been released yet but from the number of views it's had on the blog I suspect it will be  high chart entry when it does get released. One I'm fairly sure may make an entry next week is Tygressa.

Another post getting a lot of attention is Spechel "Come By" which has more than double the views of the next highest viewed post in the last seven days, which is Hill St. Soul.

My tips to chart from this weeks breakers are Lady Wray and Alanna Royale, although both have a bit of a retro feel which might hold them back.
