SoulStrutter Top 20 - 19th Aug 2021

The SoulStrutter Top 20 of the most viewed posts in the last 30 days (i.e. blog readers choices not mine!).

The gap on Carmichael Musiclover has been closed significantly by new entry Down To Earth but both of these are well ahead of third place by a factor of around four. The rise of Down To Earth has several contributory factors: 1/ it was the SoulStrutter Selection of the Week last week, 2/ the blog post was used by a record promoter when the album was serviced to 800 DJs/radio stations this week and 3/ was reposted by the group on their facebook page. It is almost certain to be #1 next week as Carmichael Musiclover will drop out as his 30 days will have expired, unless another amazing release materialises.

There are a few surprising entries at the foot of the table, but I just count the views!

Blog Statistics

I thought you might be interested in the blog stats each week so I'll also post them here. The table below shows the daily no. of visits to the blog along with the weekly total visits, average daily visits and total visits in the last 30 days. 

I'd love to get these numbers even higher so please share, especially if you are an artist/label/DJ/promoter as Down To Earth is an example of what can happen. There was a weekend in July on which visitors exceeded 2,500 for four consecutive days. I'm not quite sure what was significant about that particular weekend?

I'm still trying to get a handle on Google Analytics but last week there were visitors from 52 different countries around the world with the top viewers coming from US (43%) and UK (33%) along with France, Brazil, Jamaica, Spain, Germany and Italy making up the lion's share of other nationalities.
