Global Soul Chart 14th May 2022 (Week 19)

14th May 2022
The Global Soul chart broadcast on Sat 14th May as it is every Saturday between  5pm-7pm (GMT) on Global Soul Radio.

Each week around a dozen or more 'Breakers' are interspersed with chart entries. These will be posted separately. 


Far be it for me to say 'I told you so', but the new #1, only on its second week on the chart, is the new album from Reuben James which SoulStrutter predicted (on 23 Apr) before the album was even officially released based on hearing it on promo. Very hot on it's heels is Raheem Devaughn's album entering straight in at #2 only a week after release, which only has about three 'good' tracks on it from a soul perspective in my opinion and the best one is the one played (included in last week's "The Dirty Dozen") along with a cover of Minnie Riperton's "Memory Lane" and the current single "If I Don't".

There has been a wholesale 'clear out' (as predicted last week with so many on the decline) with eight new entries, which is all well and good but how does anything stand much of a chance of sticking on such a fast moving chart? Having said that, this is probably one of the best charts in recent weeks, as you may have noticed that many of the previous entries (most of which didn't stay around very long) have not been posted. This week there are only three and how one of them, Tigga Bounce, made it to the top spot last week is anyone's guess but it has taken a big tumble this week and will probably be gone next week along with Gwen Bunn and Sierra Sellers. I'm not too keen on Conor Albert but I think the new entries will stick around another week and we could possibly see a departure for Samuel Archer.

Summary: 5 risers, 5 fallers, 2 non-movers and 8 new entries

New Entries: Raheem Devaughn, Lenora, Tony Walk, Sanura ft Raheem Devaughn, Kenyon Dixon, Sabrina Claudio, Meadoe Janee, Conor Albert

Highest Risers: Sly Johnson (+8), Grant Alexander (+7), Reuben James (+6)

Biggest Fallers: Tigga Bounce (-10), Samuel Archer (-6), Gwen Bunn (-3)

Losers: Akemi Fox, Kosmic Kae, Macke Keane, Output/Input, VIA, Eric Roberson, Nicquab, Syd.
