The Charts: LeCrae Back At #1

LeCrae’s Rehab project shows no signs of slowing– it’s back at #1 this week on Billboard’s Gospel Albums chart, having taken a backseat to Tye Tribbett’s Fresh debut last week.

Also, remember how I said that Israel’s sudden disappearance from the Billboard chart last week must have been an administrative error? It was. Apparently, Soundscan numbers reported that he was actually in the #3 position in gospel music last week, but Billboard omitted his name from the line-up.  I blame a Billboard intern. ;-)

Anyway, all’s fixed now and the top 10 looks like this in gospel:

#1 | LeCraeRehab
#2 | Tye TribbettFresh
#3 | Israel HoughtonLove God. Love People.
#4 | Brian Courtney WilsonJust Love
#5 | Marvin SappHere I Am
#6 | VaShawn MitchellTriumphant
#7 | Mavis StaplesYou Are Not Alone
#8 | William McDowellAs We Worship: Live
#9 | WOW Gospel 2010
#10 | Shekinah Glory MinistryRefreshed By Fire

Based on the numbers, I believe that the Bishop Morton compilation I told you about this week could chart pretty high in the coming week.  And Aaron Neville’s released a new gospel project this week that, like Mavis Staples’ project, will likely get significant mainstream attention.  We’ll see.

What do you guys think???

    I KNEW there had to be a mistake regarding Israel's project. I'm happy for him!
