Global Soul Chart 30th Apr 2022 (Week 17)

30th Apr 2022

The Global Soul chart broadcast on Sat 30th Apr 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.

No change at the top, Akemi Fox is there for the second consecutive week. Five of seven new entries have already been posted. The highest being, as predicted last week, Samuel Archer's new album. I say new but it was posted here on 1 Nov 2021 having been released on Bandcamp.

Making way for the seven new entries were five of the six predicted to drop out last week. One predicted drop out, Syd, is actually the highest climber this week. The other two goners were Maxine Scott and a surprise exit for Mychelle from #6. 

With so many new entries it's again difficult to predict whether the new entries will hang around or drop straight out again, but I think most of them will be safe for another week especially Clowette (predicted as an entry last week) and Kayla Amor who, along with Samuel Archer, are two of the best IMO. Next week's losers I suspect will be Loie, Sha Ako, Fana Hues and Ezinne Nnorom almost certainly. I have a feeling that, now on the decline, Eric Roberson may be a casualty or will drop considerably.

A few predicted entries from last week haven't (yet) materialised i.e. CARRTOONS, Sanura & Raheem DeVaughn and Reuben James' album release may see him make an entry although, arguably, the best tracks have already been released. Another couple of tips from the new releases include Lenora and possibly Space Ghost and the new single from Raheem DeVaughn's forthcoming album, but we'll see.
