UK Soul Chart 31st Jan 2022

31st Jan 2022

I've decided that this year again to start posting the UK Soul Charts. Not only the one published by Starpoint Radio but also Global Soul Radio as I believe they are diverse enough with the former being more commercial and the latter covering more contemporary neo/future soul releases. I think there is a place for both. 

It is worth highlighting that, whilst the UK Soul Chart may have had some 'bad press' (rightly or wrongly) in the past, I've had a discussion with it's creator who has been referencing Digital Tracking (DTR)  software for the last few months to verify it's accuracy and informs me that it has had positive results and will be using it moving forward in addition to using radio show playlists & Stations Data as more artists start to use the (DRT) facility. It is also worth bearing in mind that the Starpoint chart is always one week behind as there is a delay in collating the 100+ playlists that the chart is based upon.

The Global Soul chart is 'arguably' more upfront and data is collated from three weeks of radio show playlists along with the Amazon Hot (100) New Releases with the latest week's playlists being given more emphasis.

It will be interesting to see how things develop but I have no doubt that some tunes will in appear in one chart and not the other on a regular basis, as is the nature of the beast, but that's perhaps a good thing, hence the reason for posting both. I don't believe that the charts should be compared as one being more accurate than the other as each is coming at it from a different perspective.

I think it should be fairly obvious, but colour coding is riser = green, faller = red and no change = orange and new entry or re-entry = white/no colour.

Where chart entries have been posted on the blog, which generally they will have been, there will be a link to the post.

This week's chart has five new entries and three re-entries. The highest new entry is from David Morales entering straight in at #2.

Highest Risers: Sandra-Mae Lux (10), Tanqueray Hayward (9), Leee John (8)
Biggest Fallers: Frank McComb & Kathy Kosins (-17), Sympi Whitney (-11), Castella (-11), Groove Association (-10)
