The Charts: Nothing Major, But A Couple Of Jumps

Nothing monumental to report, though Forever Jones, Fred Hammond and Brian Courtney Wilson all experienced sales increases that pushed them higher in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Gospel Albums charts.

In fact, Forever Jones had the greatest sales gain of any gospel album last week… g’head guys!

The full rundown looks like this…

#1 | Marvin SappHere I Am
#2 | WOW Gospel 2010
#3 | Trip LeeBetween Two Worlds
#4 | Fred HammondLove Unstoppable
#5 | Forever JonesGet Ready
#6| Brian Courtney WilsonJust Love
#7 | Hezekiah Walker & LFCSouled Out
#8 | BeBe & CeCe WinansStill
#9 | DeWayne WoodsMy Life’s Lyric
#10 | Juanita BynumMore Passion

What I’m kinda hoping for is that something from Walter Hawkins’ catalogue will pop into the top 10 next week… I’ll be taking down the playlist I made for him this weekend– maybe you’ll make a coupla purchases??? :roll:

What do you think of the charts this week?  Of the projects listed above, whose albums do you NOT have?

The Charts: Phil Tarver Debuts At #4, Marvin Sapp Regains #1 Spot

After Trip Lee’s chart-topping debut last week, Marvin Sapp has regained the #1 chart position on the Gospel Albums chart at Billboard.  Trip Lee follows close behind, though, in the #2 spot.

Also, Phil Tarver, the music director and worship leader of Shekinah Glory Ministry, enters the chart at #4 with his new solo project, Place of Worship.  Congrats!

#1 | Marvin SappHere I Am
#2 | Trip LeeBetween Two Worlds
#3 | WOW Gospel 2010

Did anyone here grab Phil Tarver’s new project when it came out?

Whatd’ya think of the charts this week???

The Charts: Trip Lee #1 On Gospel & Christian Charts

The new album from gospel hip-hop artist Trip Lee, Between Two Worlds, made a HUGE statement at retail this week, earning the #1 position at Billboard on both the Gospel AND Christian albums charts. In doing so, he unseated chart leaders Marvin Sapp and MercyMe, respectively.

Trip Lee’s new project also landed at #10 on the Rap albums chart.  All in all, a pretty strong showing for this project.  Congrats!

Also, My Life’s Lyric, the new album from DeWayne Woods & When Singers Meet, has debuted at #3, while Darwin Hobbs’ latest effort, Champion, debuts at #6.

So, LOTS of movement in the top 10. It now looks a little something like this…

#1 | Trip LeeBetween Two Worlds
#2 | Marvin SappHere I Am
#3 | DeWayne WoodsMy Life’s Lyric
#4 | WOW Gospel 2010
#5 | Forever JonesGet Ready
#6 | Darwin HobbsChampion
#7 | Hezekiah Walker & LFCSouled Out
#8 | BeBe & CeCe WinansStill
#9| Fred HammondLove Unstoppable
#10 | Juanita BynumMore Passion

If Trip Lee can maintain his sales momentum, he should be at #1 for at least another week or two.  DeWayne Woods and Darwin Hobbs should also have pretty solid footing in the top 10 for a while.

What do you think of the charts this week?  Who has Trip Lee’s new project?  Who’s gonna check it out now???

Talk to me, folks!

The Charts: The "Older" James Fortune CD Jumps 34 Positions

Interesting.

James Fortune & FIYA’s album, The Transformation, jumped 34 chart positions on Billboard’s Gospel Albums chart this week, leaping from #41 to #7.  That, alone, is pretty noteworthy.  Even more incredible is that this is not the group’s most recent album; the newest project, Encore, rests at #16 on the chart.

Why in tarnation did so many buyers pass up the new album and go for the older one?!  Random.

*shrugs*

Anyway, the rest of the Top 10 looks a little somethin’ like this (you’ll notice that Fortune is tied with Brian Courtney Wilson at #7– they sold the same number of units):

James Fortune & FIYA - The Transformation#1 | Marvin SappHere I Am
#2 | WOW Gospel 2010
#3 | Forever JonesGet Ready
#4 | Hezekiah Walker & LFCSouled Out
#5 | BeBe & CeCe WinansStill
#6 | Fred HammondLove Unstoppable
#7 | Brian Courtney WilsonJust Love
#7 | James Fortune & FIYAThe Transformation
#9 | CeCe WinansSongs of Emotional Healing
#10 | Juanita BynumMore Passion

Shout-out to CeCe for having two albums in the Top 10, and to Forever Jones for maintaining that #3 position!

I’m predicting that the Top 5 will see quite a shake-up next week.  I’m guessing the sales figures of the current top albums won’t be strong enough to beat out the first week sales of Darwin Hobbs, DeWayne Woods , Trip Lee and Juanita Bynum.

What say you???

In Stores: Music From Darwin Hobbs, DeWayne Woods & Juanita Bynum

Heads-up, good people. In stores today are the newest projects from Darwin Hobbs, entitled Champion, DeWayne Woods, entitled My Life’s Lyric, and Juanita Bynum’s Soul Cry (Oh, Oh, Oh) EP.

Which of these are YOU grabbin’ this week???
