The Charts: Earnest Pugh Up To #2

No new entrants into the top 5 slots on Billboard’s Gospel Album chart, but there’s some movement among them.

Mary Mary continues to reign at the top of the chart, but Earnest Pugh’s latest release climbs from #4 to #2, displacing Israel Houghton, who drops one spot to #3.

WOW Gospel 2009 falls back to the #4 spot, while Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC’s remain at the #5 spot.

It’ll be interesting to see what the charts look like NEXT week, with the recent releases from J Moss, Vickie Winans, and the deluxe edition of Smokie Norful’s live project.

    Rain On Me by Earnest Pugh is one of the most played songs on The Sounds Of Inspiration radio program...heard every Sunday morning from 8 to 10 Eastern Standard Time on 91.3FM in Bloomington, Indiana and streaming live all around the world at www.wfhb.org. He is in the same camp with James Fortune and F.I.Y.A. and The Brown Boyz....

    Had my eye on Pugh for years he holds it down live and on his CDs and is a force reackon with on the live stage, studio, and in preaching circles. He will take the land...don't sleep
