Which slots Soul fills
- The Ballad (track 6): it counts as a softer genre.
- Lead Single (track 3) and The Closer (track 12) want your biggest songs, whatever the genre. 8 Soul songs qualify.
- Deep Cut (track 9) wants your smallest song. 27 Soul songs qualify.
Albums score higher when they use fewer genres and more decades, so Soul works best as one of two or three genres spread across several eras. How scoring works.
