The Global Soul Chart - 4th Sep 2021

The first chart for September 2021 and a massive clear out with ten new entries, all previously posted, and five of them have been featured in The Dirty Dozen in the last two weeks with three of them being the highest new entries Gwendolyn Collins (#9), Kloud 9 Feat. Maysa (#10), Saint Jaimz Feat. Maxine Jones (#11), Yasmina (#15) and EWF Feat. Lucky Day (#17) along with Tracy Cruz (#20), Nico Bryant (#19), Jay Diggs (#18), Mandee (#16) and Amaria (13).

Unfortunately my prediction that Carmichael Musiclover would knock Victoria Monet of the top didn't materialise but he climbed 17 places to #2 whilst Victoria Monet stays at #2 for the second week on her fourth week on the chart (she released a new retro 70s video for the tune on 2 Sep posted yesterday). It's also pleasing to see Nuwambe climb into the top 10 as that was an album tipped here on 8 Aug. 

Surely there are better tunes around than Mandee, Amaria and Jay Diggs? e.g. LaTanya Hughes, Brittany Turnipseed, Charlie Dhani, Ranay Shakara and Acantha Lang plus quite a batch coming through this week, but I think the London DJs will push Mandee higher which I don't particularly rate highly.

Losers:

Leela James, Durand Jones & The Indications, Emmavie, Christopher Williams, India Shawn, Swindle, Samm Henshaw, Stokely, Don-E, Sheena O. Murray

Highest Risers:

Carmichael Musiclover (+17), Georgie Sweet (+6), Nuwamba (+6)

Biggest Fallers:

Reva DeVito & Midas Hutch (-12), Anthony Hamilton (-6), India Ivonna (-3)
