Global Soul Chart 16th Apr 2022 (Week 15)

16th Apr 2022

The Global Soul chart broadcast on Sat 16th Apr as it is every Saturday between  5pm-7pm (GMT) on Global Soul Radio.

No "Essential 5" again this week but the 'Breakers' will be posted separately.

Jermaine Hardsoul is replaced at the top after two weeks by Eric Roberson's new album "Lessons" whilst Ezinne Nnorom is a massive climber of 15 places up to the second spot only 12 days after release.

There are 6 new entries all in the lower end of the chart with the highest being Gwen Burns at #12 so I wonder how many will cling on for another week.

Five of the six predicted to go last week have gone along with Nia Soul.  It looks like 'ta ta' next week to Joyce Wrice for certain with a massive drop of 16 places from #2 which I won't be shedding a tear over as never liked it and therefore never posted it! I suspect that Jessica Childress and Jermaine Hardsoul may also be casualties next week. 

Having said that I don't think there is anything that particularly stands out in the last week that is obvious to replace them. However, at time of writing Secret Soul Society - Sensitive People is topping the Amazon Hot New Releases. A few other tips include Novine, Shan Ako, Alyse Elys and Velvet Bloom perhaps. It wouldn't surprise me if the 'new' Samuel Archer album gets a entry in a week or two even though it has been out since 1 Oct 2021 on Bandcamp.
