The Global Soul Chart - 21st Aug 2021

Russ Cole deputised for Franklin Sinclair this week so there was no 'Essential 5'. There were five new entries Alvin Garrett, Char Elizabeth (who I 'nudged' at in my comments last week) and two 'obvious' ones I predicted last week, Kim Tavar and Will Downing (no Victor Haynes though) and one of last week's breakers Reva DeVito & Midas Hutch is this week's highest new entry just pipping Will Downing at #6.

Unfortunately Samm Henshaw hasn't progressed and stays rooted at #3 with this week's highest climber Victoria Monet leapfrogging him into the second slot. Last week's #2 D. Folks takes a nose dive to #15.

Still no place for GarciaWalker&Durrell, which I find quite bewildering as it tops the Starpoint UK Soul chart for the third consecutive week and is also the top viewed post on this blog for the last 30 days for the third week running and has been since it was first posted on 27 Jul. 

It's even more astonishing as if anyone can name a better, more complete, album released this year then I'm open to suggestions as it must have passed me by! 

Losers:

Shaila Prospere, Jaszy Shavers, Jewell Booker, Portrait , Ms. Kriss

Highest Risers:

Victoria Monét (+10), Christopher Williams etc. (+6)

Biggest Fallers:

D.Folks  (-13), Sidibe (-9), Kevin Ross (-7)
