Week 28

Monday, October 12, 2026

The 40 best AfroGospel records eligible this week. Half of every score is the curator's one-time listen; the rest is documented momentum, how recently the record came out, and anything that happened to it this week. Eligibility closes on the reference date, Oct 5, 2026. Chart floor 32.

Craft, 25
Momentum, 10
Currency, 9
Moment, 5

W2 Momentum is a default on 35 of 40 chart rows. The evidence sweep did not run this week, so position is craft plus currency.
