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 | LeCrae – Rehab
#2 | Tye Tribbett – Fresh
#3 | Israel Houghton – Love God. Love People.
#4 | Brian Courtney Wilson – Just Love
#5 | Marvin Sapp – Here I Am
#6 | VaShawn Mitchell – Triumphant
#7 | Mavis Staples – You Are Not Alone
#8 | William McDowell – As We Worship: Live
#9 | WOW Gospel 2010
#10 | Shekinah Glory Ministry – Refreshed 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!
