Soul Associates Top 30 - 2023 Week 8 (w/e 26 Feb 2023)

Many moons ago we did a weekly Top 30 based on the number of views each post received over the last 30 days. This was rather cumbersome, as it involved manually checking the figures for each post. Also, figures got unfairly distorted when some were reposted on social media by artists/labels/promoters, so it was dropped. 

We have received requests to reinstate it, therefore, now that we are posting multiple radio show podcasts each week, we are in a position to use these to highlight exactly what is being playlisted on UK soul radio by presenters playing predominantly upfront new releases. We will use these, supplemented by blog views, to produce a Top 30 each week based on a rolling four weeks of playlists.

At present it is limited to the playlists received and invite any radio shows which play new releases to submit their playlists each week to improve coverage. The proviso is that a/ at least 50% of a show must be new releases and b/ tracks get frequent plays i.e. we are not interested in first play / one play playlists as these do nothing to indicate popularity and will only serve to distort the table.

This is not a chart as such, it does not claim to represent sales, downloads, streams or Amazon 'chart' positions, it is simply a barometer of what is currently being played on UK soul radio by several of the UK's main players and hopefully others will throw their hat in the ring to extend coverage.
